The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called for a national stakeholder engagement to analyse and review the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
That, it said, was to improve upon the system.
“The fact is Free SHS policy goes beyond the payment or non-payment of fees, but also the survival of the general school system, the President of NAGRAT, Mr Eric Agbe-Carbonu, said at a press conference in Accra yesterday ahead of the May Day celebrations.
He said while there was no doubt about the benefits of Free SHS, it was important to improve upon its delivery, thus a stakeholders’ engagement was one of the key ways of discussing the issue on a non-partisan basis with the aim of finding a solution to achieve the object of that policy without putting one party, in this case, the schools, at a disadvantage.

The FORUM for Public Sector Associations and Unions is pushing for the May Day Celebration from hence to be organised under the auspices of the country’s three Labour Centres: namely the FORUM for Public Sector Associations and Unions, Ghana Trades Union Congress, and the Ghana Federation of Labour.
According to the FORUM, which consists of the largest public sector workers, it is time for the country to recognise Trade Center plurality and give equal recognition to all during the celebration of Workers Day.
Chairman of the Forum, Isaac Bampoe Addo, in a letter to the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffoe Awuah, titled 2021 National May Day Celebration stated that: “The FORUM for Public Sector Associations and Unions at its meeting held on 15th April 2021 noted that it is time to recognise Trade Centre plurality in the country.
The Forum for Public Sector Associations and Unions (Forum) has petitioned the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to ensure parity among labour unions in the celebration of May Day, starting with the 2021 event scheduled for Saturday, May 1.
The Forum says May Day, which celebrates the contribution of workers to national development must be national in character by involving all the three major labour associations or centres in the country.
The petition listed the three centres as the Trades Union Congress (TUC), the Ghana Federation of Labour and the Forum.
It said just like the Forum, each of the centres was made up of many national unions, and as such any celebration that did not involve all three was unfair to workers.
