“Students Applaud President Mahama’s Reaffirmation of Free SHS and Improved Meals.

Senior High School (SHS) students across Ghana are expressing their gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama for his recent assurances regarding the Free SHS policy. The students had been concerned that the policy would be canceled, but President Mahama’s clarification has brought relief to students, parents, and educators alike.

In December 2024, President Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining the Free SHS policy, dismissing claims that his administration would abolish it. He emphasized that the policy is here to stay and that his government plans to secure dedicated funding to enhance its implementation.

In addition to his commitment to sustaining the Free SHS policy, President Mahama’s administration has also made significant improvements to the diet of students on campus. The provision of nutritious meals is recognized as essential for academic success, and the students are thrilled with the upgrades.

President Mahama’s dedication to education is well-established. During his previous term, he engaged with stakeholders to discuss ways to support private senior high schools and ensure that students from all backgrounds can benefit from the free secondary education policy.

The students’ appreciation for President Mahama’s efforts is palpable. “We’re grateful for President Mahama’s reassurances on the Free SHS policy,” said one student. “We can now focus on our studies, knowing that our education is a priority for the government.

Another student added, “The food is now more nutritious and plentiful. We feel energized and focused throughout the day, thanks to President Mahama’s administration.

As the academic year progresses, students and educators will continue to monitor President Mahama’s administration’s efforts to support and improve the education sector. With his commitment to enhancing the Free SHS policy, President Mahama has undoubtedly won the hearts of many Ghanaian students.
