Turn all state-funded SHS boarding schools into world-class day schools

Ghana's transformative  free SHS education initiative, is in a perilous state, at the moment, sadly.  Without a shadow of doubt,  it  will eventually become unsustainable, unless all government funded SHS boarding schools, are turned into world-class day schools - finally giving nationwide access to quality SHS level education fit for the digital era: which leverages the metaverse (amongst other digital tools), to educate students across Ghana.

The shortage of funds to provide boarding SHS students with adequate and nutritious meals, three times daily, is a  clear indication that it will be far less expensive, for government to fund day SHS schools, nationwide, instead - a creative idea whose time has finally come: and must now be embraced by Ghanaian society, generally, as a whole.

As a wise and aspirational African people, we need to end the baleful influence, on our national life,  of government funded boarding SHS school alumni associations, in order to  halt the nation-wrecking  nepotism, and high-level corruption, which that  breeds, in our democratic society.

Turning all state funded boarding SHS schools, into world-class day schools, will help speed up that desirable end. Full stop. Let the private sector provide SHS boarding achool education, for parents who can afford it,  and devote resources thereby saved, by so doing, into transforming  all government funded SHS boarding into world-class day schools, across the entire territorial landmass of Ghana. Simple. Yooooooo...
