Abstract
The Free Senior High School education policy was introduced in Ghana as an intervention by the government of Ghana to make education accessible to all Ghanaians children. The policy intervention sought to bridge all cost barriers that limited access to education in second cycle institutions in Ghana. This national cross sectional study therefore sought to determine the knowledge of beneficiaries of the policy and prioritize its challenges in Ghana. A sample of 504 parents with ward(s) in senior high school and 231 Administrators were purposively selected for the study. The research revealed inadequate knowledge on indicators of the policy by its beneficiaries. In prioritizing problems of Free SHS, inadequate classroom infrastructure and dormitory space were ranked the most pressing priority problem of the policy implementation. In view of the findings of this research, we recommend; increased engagement of stakeholders of the policy to enhance their Knowledge and build their capacity to contribute to its success, building more classroom infrastructure and dormitories and abolishing the double track educational system.
