The Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Education has touted the achievement of the free senior high school programme.
He says the results of the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have seen significant and consistent improvement under the free SHS policy.
He added that although the quality of education is not where it is expected to be, the fact remains that the quality is not bad presently.
“When access increases the general template is that quality decreases, but even though we are not where we have to be, we are not to doing bad,” he said during the national dialogue session organized by Media General and STARR Ghana on Thursday, April 4.
He added, “Data from WASSCE clearly show that there has been consistency and significant improvement.”

“We have the One Student, One laptop, we have done quite a significant work,” he said.
