Only forty-six out of the 200 planned Community Day Senior High Schools project initiated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has been completed, the Minister of Education, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh has said.
In a radio interview on Asempa FM Tuesday afternoon, the new sector Minister said even with the 46 completed ones, not all of them are in use.
The NDC government had on a number of occasions announced that more than 123 of the schools were at various stages of completion and released a list of the said schools in October 2016 following clamours for evidence of progress on the schools.
Former President Mahama in the NDC Manifesto for Election 2012 promised to build 200 of the day schools between 2013 and 2016 with the intention to build at least 50 each year within the four-year period.
But with a few months to Election 2016, the NDC admitted it was not going to be able to achieve that feat. Mr Mahama, however, inaugurated a few of them for use with the announcement that 75 were ready for use.
In the radio interview Tuesday, Dr Prempeh said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was not going to handle the free SHS programme in the same way as the NDC handled the day schools project.
Below is the list the NDC government released in October 2016:
