The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has raised major concern about the Free Senior High School Policy and the growing challenges it is going through.
According to the Association, the introduction of the Free SHS was very positive but indicated a second look should be given the implementation to ensure the good intentions for the policy does not destroy the education sector in the end.
NAGRAT is therefore calling on the government to constitute a stakeholder engagement to analyze and review the Free SHS policy with immediate effect.

- Court orders arrest of contractor over alleged $50,000 fraud
- Germany to return looted Benin Bronzes to Nigeria
President of NAGRAT, Mr. Eric Angel Kofi Agbe Carbonu, made the call at a press conference to lament some pertinent issues the Association finds very troubling.
According to him, besides the concerns of the policy, there are challenges with supply from the buffer stock and appealed for an evaluation of the role of the buffer stock supplying food items to the schools.
“We also have challenges with the payment of electricity, especially bills of schools that are on prepaid meters.”
“On a daily basis, challenges develop for school managements to address. The situation currently makes it difficult or impossible for school managers to solve recurrent and intermittent challenges,” he stated.
