Free SHS Policy Criticized for Poor Implementation and Political Influence.

Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), has voiced concerns over the Free Senior High School (SHS) initiative, describing it as a well-intentioned but poorly implemented program that has been politicized. Speaking on Joy News' AM Show, Braimah argued that while the initiative aims to benefit students, the lack of transparency and the politicized approach have hindered its effectiveness.He noted that the government’s portrayal of the policy as entirely “free” has led to unmet expectations, as many parents still incur costs for essentials like textbooks and uniforms. Braimah suggested that involving teachers and parents in the policy could improve its impact. The Free SHS program, a key promise from President Nana Akufo-Addo, was launched in 2017, boosting secondary school enrollment from 308,799 in 2016 to around 1.4 million today.

Ghana Seeks Malaysian Investment to Boost Palm Oil Production.

Ghana is calling on Malaysian investors to partner with local firms to develop the country's oil palm industry and reduce its reliance on imports. At a recent business forum in Accra, key industry players emphasized the potential for collaboration to speed up Ghana's self-sufficiency in palm oil production. Despite Ghana's current annual production of 300,000 tonnes, the demand stands at 450,000 tonnes, creating a deficit of 150,000 tonnes. The government aims to close this gap through the work of the Tree Crops Development Authority (TCDA) and strategic partnerships. By leveraging Malaysia's expertise in sustainable palm oil production, Ghana hopes to create a thriving industry that can serve the African market.
