The Deputy Minister-designate for Finance, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has reassured the public that there are no plans to cancel the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, emphasising his commitment to supporting its continuation.
During his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, February 24, 2025, the Asuogyaman MP pledged to collaborate closely with Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, to secure adequate funding for the policy’s effective implementation.
Addressing concerns about Free SHS, Mr Nyarko Ampem clarified that his focus is on enhancing its execution rather than funding cuts.
He stated, “There is no subtle intention to cancel Free SHS. I will support my minister to provide adequate funding for education.”
He added, “If Ghanaians, through consensus, agree on a particular direction for the policy, and it becomes government policy, I will fully support it. President Mahama has assured Ghanaians that he will not cancel Free SHS, and I trust his commitment.”
