The Trades Union Congress (TUC) of Ghana in a statement by the Union secretary has commended the government’s policy which made education at the senior high school level free.
The TUC Secretary General, Dr. Yaw Baah also admonished the government to make job creation a priority stating that; “The only way the cost of free SHS will pay for itself will be to put beneficiary Ghanaians to productive work.”
