| dc.description.abstract | Access to education remain a challenge for most Ghanaian students especially at the secondary level due to high expenditure responsibilities that comes with it despite government numerous subsidy provisions available. In view of this, the government of Ghana has initiated the free SHS project. However. The issue of sustainability continues to be a concern of stakeholder. . The research aimed at assessing the sustainability of free SHS in Ghana. The specific objectives were; to identify the critical success factors of free SHS; to identify the potential causes of free SHS failure; and recommend strategies to sustain the free SHS initiative in Ghana. The study employed a quantitative research method using the structured questionnaire approach. The Relative Importance Index (RII), descriptive statistics and the One-sample T-test were used in analyzing the data collected. The research revealed that, Primary responsibility for education by the state; High allocation of government budget to secondary education; Adoption of cost-effectiveness measures and Utilizing abounded infrastructure are the critical success factors for the free SHS project. It also identified inadequate teaching space and materials, shortage of teachers; Inadequate and late disbursement of government fund; Inadequate of teaching and learning materials and well equipped library; Lack of motivated and qualified teachers; and Poor supervision and support as the potential causes of free SHS failure. It is therefore recommended that government collaborates with all stakeholder institutions to clearly design the roadmap for the success of the initiative. As a result, all possible set-backs could be predetermined and planned for and prevent undue interruptions | en_US |
