The press reads as:
My attention has been drawn to a story stating that GES is reviewing free education policy to determine how much parents should pay.
The story emanated from an interview I granted to a host upfront.
The headlines is misleading and does not reflect the impact of the story.
For the avoidance of doubt, GES is not undertaking any review of the free education policy. The free education policy is the sole prerogative of the president and the government of Ghana.
The Ghana Education Service is an Agency and does not formulate or initiate policy review. As an Agency, GES implement policies and programmes on pre- tertiary schools.
