Ghanaian socialite Afia Schwarzenegger recently criticized National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang over her statements regarding the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.
Afia Schwarzenegger disputed claims by some NDC members, including Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who suggested that their party initiated the Free SHS policy.
Afia asserted that the policy was exclusively championed by the current NPP government under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Taking to her Instagram, Afia Schwarzenegger shared a video featuring Prof. Opoku-Agyemang claiming credit for starting the Free SHS initiative, to which Afia responded with a comment calling her a “liar.”
The Free SHS policy has garnered widespread support for its role in boosting enrollment and providing educational opportunities, especially for disadvantaged students.
Despite its successes, concerns have been raised about infrastructure challenges, prompting calls for a review to further enhance the policy, although the government has been adamant about its current stance on the matter.
