A 12-year-old General Science student of the Akatsi Senior High Technical School in the Akatsi South District of the Volta Region has paid glowing tribute to the Free Senior High School policy, saying, but for the policy, he might have been fishing on the Volta lake.
Master Gadausu Emmanuel who was assisted by Kpodo Bertha, an Agric Science student of the same school added that he might have as well ended up on the street or probably a truck pusher at the market, but for the kindness of free SHS.
His words struck the nerves of the thousands of residents at the durbar of the 30th Anniversary celebration of the Akatsi South District.
He noted that Free SHS has done to him and his family better.
Thanking the President who was in attendance with a high powered delegation, he said, “my mother can now save more resources for other things”.
He, therefore, urged all Ghanaian children to embrace and enjoy the policy by studying hard to justify the huge investment being made.
