Ghana’s Free SHS Policy: A Strategic Revolution of Minds and Futures offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most transformative educational reforms in Ghana’s history. Launched in 2017, the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy has redefined access to secondary education, breaking down financial barriers and creating unprecedented opportunities for the nation’s youth.

This book traces the evolution of Ghana’s educational system, from its pre-colonial roots to the present era, highlighting the visionary leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the strategic reforms that have shaped the country’s educational landscape. Through in-depth analysis, compelling data, and personal testimonies, the book examines the profound impact of the Free SHS Policy on increasing enrolment, promoting gender parity, and raising academic standards.

Ghana’s Free SHS Policy not only celebrates the successes of this ground-breaking initiative but also addresses its challenges and the lessons learned along the way. With a focus on the future, it explores how the government’s emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), as well as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), is preparing Ghana’s youth for a technology-driven global economy.
‘This book is a must-read for policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the role of education in national development. It offers a strategic roadmap for sustaining the successes of the Free SHS Policy and shaping a prosperous, equitable future for Ghana.
