The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu has praised the government for introducing the Free SHS policy. Speaking at a special congregation at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), he also charged the government to put things in place so that the tertiary schools can have the facilities to admit the students when they complete Senior High School.
“The free SHS, in all aspects, is a laudable policy, and we as a nation should applaud it,” the Asantehene, who is the Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), stated.

He added: “By April/May 2020, the first batch of students under the free SHS policy will come out and this will double the number of students seeking enrollment into our tertiary institutions. This is a reality we must confront. The potential increase in enrolment at the tertiary level will require corresponding increase in resources – both financial and human – to be able to cope with the expected increase in student numbers.”
“Resources must be found to complete all infrastructural projects at KNUST and in other universities, including my pet project – Teaching and Research Hospital on campus,” Otumfuo mentioned.
