Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia says government will relentlessly pursue the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy to develop and catch up with other developed economies.

This is in spite of calls for a review of it's flagship educational policy. He said this will be done in spite of the prevailing economic challenges in the country.

Since its inception, about 1.6 million students have so far benefitted from the FSHS policy.

However, the policy has come under public scrutiny in recent times following reports of food shortages and drop in quality of teaching and learning.

This notwithstanding, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia speaking at the centenary launch of Accra High School said, the policy is the catalyst required to accelerate the agenda of industrial revolution.

"Government is undaunted, and will continue to work hard to fulfill this promise to the people of Ghana. We cannot really afford to disappoint the youth and the future leaders of our country. So far, so good " Dr. Bawumia said.

He also used the platform to rally the general population to support government to sustain the delivery of the policy even in the face of the current economic challenges.

Dr. Bawumia also took time to tout some projects and policies that the administration has successfully carried out and the ones that are yet to be rolled out to make life better for the Ghanaian people.

Accra High School was founded by the late Rev. James Thomas Roberts on 17 August 1923. The School will therefore turn 100 years next year.
