Polytechnic students endorse Nana Addo’s free SHS policy
The Ghana National Union of Polytechnic Students (GNUPS) has endorsed the NPP’s flagship campaign message of providing free education at the Senior High School level, if voted into office in the December elections.
The issue of education has taken centre-stage in the 2012 campaigns as the December elections near, with virtually all leading contending political parties trying to convice the electorate how they intend to improve the human resource development base of the country, if voted into power.GNUPS in a release jointly signed by its President Williams Apam Awiniman and Public Relations Officer Andrew Atariwini on Wednesday noted that, “the significance of the secondary education cannot be over emphasized as a nation, since it is the pivot to which all students decide on what to become and aspire to be in future, hence it becomes imperative on us as a nation to invest and pay particular attention to secondary education.”
“The Ghana National Union of Polytechnic Students in this logic wants to state unequivocally that, as a country we should see to implementing an accessible, quality and free senior high secondary education as a necessity to nation building and work towards making it a national policy no matter the government in power”.
According to GNUPS, the availability of resource should not be a barrier to implementing an accessible, quality and free senior high secondary “because we have all it takes to finance such a policy”.
“It is in this direction that we reason with the idea of free senior high school education as it is a right of every school going age Ghanaian to be educated and cannot wait any longer,” the statement emphasized.
