Ghanaians to contribute to Free SHS funding

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta during the budget reading today said government intends to solicit funds from members of the public who wish to contribute to the growth of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.

This, according to Ken Ofori-Atta, was influenced by calls to establish a fund for voluntary contributions towards the growth of the Free SHS project adding that, the GET FUND Law which allows for creating of education-related funds made it possible for government to execute this plan.
