The Minority caucus has clarified its stance on the Free Senior High School (SHS) bill, emphasising that they are not opposed to the initiative. Instead, they are urging the government to address existing challenges in the educational sector.
This comes after the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, accused the Minority caucus of opposing the proposed bill on the Free SHS policy.
The bill aims to regulate the Free SHS intervention by making it mandatory for future governments to sustain the policy.
Afenyo-Markin disclosed that the bill had received executive approval and would be laid before the house by the Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum.
Speaking to journalists in Parliament on Tuesday, Afenyo-Markin demanded that the Minority provide reasons for their opposition to the bill.
However, Minority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson addressing the floor of parliament today denied ever stating that they are opposition the Free SHS bill.
According to him, the bill had not yet been laid before the house therefore challenging the Majority caucus to present the bill.
