A lecturer with Planning Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Stephen Takyi has suggested that only parents of JHS students who pay taxes to be given the benefit to enjoy free SHS.
Speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Otec FM’s morning show, Dr. Stephen said as mynewsgh was covering
“Children whose parents honour their tax obligation to the government must be allowed to enjoy free education”
According to the planner, if this becomes the modality before children will benefit from the flagship policy, parents and guardians will pay their taxes to enable the government also raise revenue to finance the collapsing policy.
“By this parents will ensure that they do what is right so their children benefit”, Dr. Stephen Takyi pointed out to host, Agya Wusu Ansah during panel discussion.
