Christopher P on 28 Nov 12This article discusses the upcoming general election in Ghana and one specific policy at stake: the government funding of education. Much debate has occurred over this idea, and one policy, Senior High School (SHS), aims to immediately begin funding of Senior High School education, while another will hold off government funding until the year 2032. The writer of this article expresses his belief that public education is a public good and therefore the government has the responsibility to provide it free of charge. The sooner public education is provided to children, the sooner the society will develop and become more equal as a result.
