introduction

INADEQUATE REVENUE TO FUND THE

PROJECT

INFRASTRUCTURAL DEFICIT

LOW PER CAPITA INCOME

POOR MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP IN

THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR

Reasons why free s.h.s can not be feasible.

INADEQUATE REVENUE TO FUND

THE PROJECT Some people argue that revenue from the oil find,

proceeds from exportation of our major export

commodities like cocoa, timber and Gold could be

used to finance the policy but what they fail to

understand is that all these sources of revenue have

been earmarked for other projects which are of

equal importance.

INFRASTRUCTURAL DEFICIT

The secondary educational system is facing problems like infrastructural deficit, and inadequate teaching staff. Currently many junior high school graduates do not get admission into senior high school because there are not enough classrooms or schools to accommodate them.

LOW PER CAPITA INCOME

GHANA’S INCOME PER CAPITA IS $1605

AS COMPARED TO:
