Improved Pass Rates in Upper East Region Credit Free SHS Program.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed his satisfaction with the success of Ghana's Free Senior High School (SHS) program. Since its introduction, more than 100,000 students who previously couldn’t access secondary education have now enrolled. Akufo-Addo emphasized that, despite early criticism, the policy has expanded opportunities for secondary and tertiary education. In the Upper East Region, the pass rates for core subjects such as mathematics, English, and science have significantly increased, with mathematics scores jumping from 52% in 2021 to 89.65% last year. The president reaffirmed his belief in prioritizing human capital development and called the program’s success a vindication of his administration’s efforts.
