Be cautious over free SHS bill – Joshua Alabi tells govt

Former UPSA Rector, Prof Joshua Alabi, has urged caution regarding the proposed legislation on the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.

The bill aims to legally bind future administrations to maintain the policy, but Prof Alabi recommends periodic assessments to optimize its effectiveness.

He emphasized that everything needs development and progress, and casting the policy in stone through legislation may not be the best approach.

He advised caution and consideration of reviews to ensure the policy's continued improvement.
