A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr George Ayisi Boateng, has called for the dismissal of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES).
According to the former Ghana High Commissioner to South Africa, the GES Director, Prof Opoku Amankwa, does not have the interest of the NPP government at heart and has lost touch with what they stand for.
This comes after Prof Amankwa indicated a review of the Free Senior High School (SHS) Policy was underway.
He explained the exercise is to determine which of the cost components government can relinquish to parents to pay.
“Then we will all put it out there and say this item, we can make do of it, and it will not affect quality, this item, I think we can get parents to pay,” he told Joy News
But presenting the 2022 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament for approval, Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, said the government will continue to fund and improve the policy.
