The on-going debate between some officials of the current NDC administration and some officials of the NPP, and a rising concern among many Ghanaian nationals with regard to the appropriate duration students should spend in the Senior High School (SHS), is prevalent on our airwaves and in the newspapers today. There are some who favour the three-year duration proposal by the current administration on the basis of educational cost relief for parents as against the implemented four-year duration by the previous administration, which some are in favour of with the claim that it will help students cover the syllabi without pressure.
Ghana New S.H.S Program Reform – A Boondoggle?
The previous administration, under the presidency of Mr. J.A Kuffour, extended the period from three years to four years most probably in response to the increase in poor performance figures among many SHS students in the country, after several final year examinations were conducted. This extension was to enable students cover the syllabi and provide them with more time to adequately learn and be more prepared for success during their final year examination. Yet the reform was instantaneously threatened by aversion and the liability of being repealed when the NDC took power early this year. Many teachers, according to my source of information, are infuriated because if the three-year period is endorsed, all the teaching plans they have spread throughout the four-year program duration will be tampered with. It means teachers will have to readjust their teaching schedules again to fit into the three-year program and this is a source of worry for most of them. Some officials of the NPP and many others consider this reversal as a political instability, a situation (in this instance) where a current government refuses to continue with the work started by a previous administration but rather subjects these works to review and changes that suit their own ideologies.

Are Ghanaians Ready For The Hunger Invation?
There are three basic things a people in every nation need: a good representation, welfare, and security. People in any given community must be represented well in Parliament by their members of parliament. The welfare of people must be Government’s first top priority as well as that of anybody who believes in the well-being of humanity. The security of people is even more paramount. But the three elements together ensure peacefulness of mind to work; they ensure safety, economic growth and development, and good living standards in any nation. I would take this opportunity to thank the Ghana Police force for their uncompromising efforts in ensuring that the security of individuals in the country is upheld.
The basic security a person needs in a country aside from all the other forms of security that exist is food security. I think this form of security is the most important of all and at the same time the fuel that activates the other security engines in the nation for an active and effective functioning. Many farmers, food vendors, and other akin workers whose livelihood are directly or indirectly associated with agriculture do not see their activities as ‘security ventures’. Today, I want them to see it as such and be in the know that the total comfort and security of Ghanaians actually rest mostly on their backs and not necessarily on the police. The police have their place but food-related activities are the basics of all security initiatives. Due to the rising food and fuel prices, the weakening of the Cedi as against the dollar, and high inflation rates the nation is encountering, the basic security of the country is under threat.
