The government will continue to fund the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) and the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes, Minister for Finance Ken Ofori-Atta has said.
Ofori-Atta refuted earlier claims suggesting the Free Senior High School and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes are currently under review.
Presenting the 2022 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on Monday (25 July), Ofori-Atta said the government will improve upon the programmes.
“Mr Speaker, we shall not compromise on President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to giving all our children the opportunity to be educated from kindergarten to university, without the ability to pay being a hindrance.”
“Free Secondary and TVET education are not under review. We will continue to fund them and we will continue to improve them,” he said.
