The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for a review of the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy to address the current challenges the program faces.

However, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) argues that the NDC is planning to eliminate the policy if it wins power.

Henry Nana Boakye, the NPP's National Organizer, speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' morning show, asserted that former President Mahama does not support the Free SHS initiative and will cancel it if given the chance.

"Former President Mahama doesn't like Free SHS and clearly when they come, they will cancel it," Nana B stated.

He further argued, "Their behavior and actions show they are against Free SHS. If you have observed them, anytime they have the opportunity, they have never highlighted the positives. Everyday, it’s the negatives."

However, renowned journalist Kwesi Pratt reacted to Nana B's comments, challenging the notion.

"Review can lead to improvement, not cancellation," Pratt emphasized, advocating for a constructive approach to addressing the issues of the Free SHS program.
