Opoku Mensah pushes back at Haruna Iddrisu, praises Akufo-Addo’s free SHS infrastructure expansion

Former spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, Yaw Opoku Mensah, has pushed back against claims by Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu that the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy was rolled out without adequate infrastructure to support the surge in enrolment. In a detailed rebuttal, Mr Opoku Mensah argued that the Akufo-Addo administration invested heavily in classroom infrastructure to support the flagship education programme, insisting that the record contradicts suggestions that the policy lacked the physical capacity to accommodate students.
