President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has praised the 2022 WASSCE results released by the West African Examination Council as the best in the last 8years.
The President said the free Senior High School (SHS) programme introduced in 2017 is yielding results.
In a facebook post, President Akufo-Addo shared his optimism that, “the Free SHS is working.”
“The 2022 WASSCE results are the best of the last 8 years. Surely there can be no longer any controversy about the validity of the free SHS policy and its consequential measures, it is working and working well,” Mr Akufo-Addo said in a Facebook post after addressing the 70th Anniversary Celebration of Opoku Ware Senior High School.
Regarding the Kumasi-based Opoku Ware Secondary School, he further stated that undoubtedly, one of the best Senior High Schools in Ghana, the name of this school evokes naturally the memory of that great warrior King of Asante, Okatakyie Opoku Ware I, who succeeded and consolidated the gains of his uncle, Opemsuo Osei Tutu I, and helped expand Asanteman to her greatness and fame.
“We take pride in his name, and that of all the great kings of the Osei Poku Oyoko Dynasty, including the latest descendant, the outstanding Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who have done so much to bring renown and glory to our nation and its history.
“I congratulated management, past and present, teaching and non-teaching staff, and students for their roles in bringing Opoku Ware School this far.
“The can-do-spirit that saw to the birth of the school, laced with fortitude and dignity, in the face of inevitable challenges, embodies the Ghanaian spirit that we must continue to nurture in order to realise our full potential as a nation.”
