GOOD TURNS BAD







Free shs is one of the prudent ventures that the current New Patriotic Party Government has initiated as a social intervention programme to help boost the educational and literacy rate of the average Ghanaian citizen so as to increase the level of productivity which will in a long round improve the economic status of the country.

The project was has increased the chances of the Akuffo-Addo led administration to stay relevant in the eyes of parents yet the good has turned bad. This is because the haste initiated project is has hit the rock hard crushing to its minimal point of which when checked not will lead to chaos in the aftermath of the four year tenure.

Free shs has generated a lot  of controversies in regards to educational materials and being no expert in academia and economics little exposure to facts on ground has made it possible to voice out some reasons that may or may not contribute to the success of the programme. First of these reasons is the fact that teachings and learning materials are limited and least supplied to the various senior high schools hence its ability and capability of hindering the smooth process of the project.

Someone may ask where are getting all those monies to finance the project? Per little calculation for eight hundred fresh students of a single senior high school feeding will amount to GH$2,160.00 for a day with feeding pegged at GH$2.70 for each student in about. Translating this to a term of three months will be outrageous and here lies the case that our economy is producing economy and not industrialized economy. This makes it difficult due to the fact that we lack the monetary or financial strength to facilitate this project which will lead us to borrow more to finance and eventually leave us debt-ridden.

Greater responsibility lies in the environment for study. Reading recently in the news about the poor nutritious food been given to students of Kwabenya Shs students is appalling and deserves not to be in the 21st century educational system. Also, La  Presec first years sitting on improvised chairs using an improvised table is unwarranted for.
I strongly believe that this project could have been achieved if the necessary equipment were acquired to facilitate its smooth flow rather than making the students suffer for our political talks. 

Good turn bad indeed for measures are not put in place for the smooth run of this magnificent project which has root in the Nkrumah-led government.

A Connection Beyond First Impressions

It was incredible how easily we clicked during our second encounter! Our first meeting was a bit awkward and tense, but I could tell she was just unfamiliar with her surroundings. Despite that, I couldn't help but notice her kindness and beauty, especially those smiles that never seemed to fade. We all couldn't help but sneak glances at her, trying not to get caught in our admiration. During our second meeting, I tried to keep my distance at first, but it was impossible. I found myself right in the middle of things, helping out, and there she was, offering her assistance despite being busy. We ended up having a deep conversation, sharing our experiences. Her lovely French accent and her passion for life struck me. I couldn't help but wonder why such a beautiful woman would choose a life of celibacy. The only explanation I could come up with was her strong faith in God. To my surprise, I later met her father and realized that their warmth and ability to bring joy to others w...

Lessons Beyond the Classroom: A Journey of Perseverance in Ghana

Image
A captivating story shared with me by a friend has stuck with me, as it resonates deeply with my own experiences. Like many young men in Ghana, I had the opportunity to work during the period between my basic school education and continuing to the next level of my education. This was a time before mobile phones were common, when airtime transfers, airtime cards, and call centers were the norm. I worked under someone who genuinely cared about my well-being, and I could see the concern on his face as I left to further my education. Life presented me with numerous opportunities. It was unusual for someone to be offered a teaching position straight out of high school, especially when many high school graduates were struggling to find work. I found myself teaching three subjects and taking on multiple responsibilities, while trained professionals had little to do. This pattern continued after I completed tertiary education. I couldn't understand why these individuals received higher sal...

Paths Intersected: Stories of Serendipitous Bonds

Image
People come together in various aspects of life for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes, the circumstances surrounding these meetings can be a mystery. However, these encounters often blossom into moments of profound connection. One such instance is the bond that is formed between a group of individuals. The memories of our meeting places still linger in my mind, as vivid as the taste of freshly tapped palm wine. I distinctly recall a time when I had to relinquish a cherished position due to the negative comments of those around me. It was a pivotal moment when I was called back to resume my role, as those who had temporarily taken over realized the challenges it entailed. I view this as a divine intervention. Despite being asked to take full control, we became effective partners in our work. I humbly sought their guidance, which provided me with invaluable learning opportunities. Another significant encounter occurred when I felt compelled to seek a unique connection with the Divine. I ...
