Government must allocate funds appropriately
The Africa Education Watch(AEW) has advised the Government to prioritize the efficient utilization of scarce resources when it comes to the financing of the free SHS.
The Executive Director of the policy think-tank argued that this was important to avoid “crowding basic schools from getting its share of the budget in the education sector”. He shared these thoughts during an interview with Samuel Eshun on e.TV Ghana’s ‘Fact Sheet’ show.
“No one is saying that the free SHS is not worthy of financing but the test of a good policy, among other things, is its financial efficiency. The Government of Ghana can decide to finance free SHS but that is not what we are talking about.”
We [Government] need to continue with the Free SHS, we need to continue the road construction. We need to continue with the Ghana CARES, we need to continue with the infrastructure the people want to have. So in this situation, what do you do? We try as much as possible to borrow amounts of money that will serve our interest, the Deputy Minister-designate of Finance Abena Osei Asare has said.
