Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, says suggestions that acts of vandalism displayed by some candidates in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) should not be blamed on the Akufo-Addo government’s free Senior High School programme.
“Respectfully, we should be careful not to associate any ill, challenge or deficiencies in character or something to Free SHS. Look, I always contend that Free SHS, in fact, the current system is just like the status quo then. The only thing that it has added is that, instead of your parents paying for the bill, the government is paying for it. So if there are character issues, it is a reflection of the society,” he argued on Citi TV.
