IMF approves of Ghana’s Free SHS policy – here’s why

Early this year, the World Bank endorsed Ghana’s Free SHS policy, calling it innovative. But what exactly does that mean?

As it turns out, the Ghanaian government has had its eye on funding universal secondary education for a while now.

After years of studying their options and coming up with creative solutions, the government recently announced that it will be implementing free-for-all free secondary school education in an effort to combat poverty and increase educational opportunities in the country.

Unfortunately, not everyone believes that this strategy will work in the long run… Find out why here!

What the IMF said about free SHS

The International Monetary Fund has called Ghana’s Free Senior High School policy innovative and praised it for its potential to increase access to education.

The team also noted that the policy could help reduce inequalities and support inclusive growth. They advised the government to ensure that the quality of education remains high, and that financing is sustainable in the long-term.

How free secondary school would work in Ghana

In Ghana, all secondary school students would be able to attend school for free. The government would cover the cost of tuition, books, and other necessary supplies.

To make this happen, the government would need to increase its investment in education. Additionally, the government would need to work with private schools to make sure they are providing quality education.

Why this will help our educational system

The International Monetary Fund has given its stamp of approval on Ghana’s free senior high school policy, calling it innovative.

This is a big deal for a few reasons.

First, it means that other countries may now be more likely to adopt similar policies, which could have a huge impact on global education.

Second, it provides more validation for the Ghanaian government’s decision to implement the policy in the first place.

What are the next steps?

Now that the IMF has given its blessing, the next steps for Ghana’s Free SHS policy are to implement it and to monitor its progress.

Additionally, the government will need to continue to find ways to fund the program so that it is sustainable in the long-term.

But with the IMF’s support, Ghana is on track to provide free secondary education for all of its citizens.
