“…This result is in line with the findings (Jones & Moss, 1994;Brock & Richburg-Hayes, 2006;Carlson CW.,2006;Natasha et al, 2011;(Belot et al, 2007;Stater, 2009;Angrist et al, 2009;Wolniak & Engberg, 2010;Denny et al, 2014;Moussa et al, 2015;Tatiana et al, 2016). However, this study is contrary to the findings (Douglass & Gregg, 2012;Hoffman, 2002;Scott-Clayton, 2011;Erik & Andreas 2010;Arcidiacono, 2005;Amber EW., 2013;Elizabeth & John, 2015;Angea & Bridget, 2016).…”

“…Their study indicates that students attained higher grade after the reform was made. Stater (2009), after controlling for various demographic and background characteristics of students, indicated that, both need-based and merit-based had a positive impact on Grade Point Average (GPA), even though the effects were stronger for merit-based aid than need-based aid. Angrist et al (2009), after using a randomized control trial (RCT) evaluation of a program to test whether academic supports to students and merit-based scholarships improved academic performance in a Canadian university.…”

High academic performance in senior high education is a significant issue that concerns the government and the people of Ghana because of the huge funding the government provides to schools in the form of progressive free senior high policy. Data starting from 2011/2012 to 2016/2017 academic years were picked from the students' continuous assessment register which contains students' academic records for each academic term. Data were collated and analyzed quantitatively using the Mann Whitney U Test to compare students' academic performance during the period of government partial funding (progressive free policy) from 2014/2015 to 2016/2017 academic years forming a group and no funding period, starting from 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 academic years which formed another group. For the purpose of this study, two groups of twenty (20) students were sampled making forty (40) students in total using the systematic sampling technique. The Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze academic performance of students who benefited from funding and those that do not benefit from funding. The findings indicate that government funding (progressive free policy) has a greater impact on students' academic performance.

“…Depending on the structure, scholarships may actually decrease the type and number of courses taken in a semester and increase course withdrawals (Cornwell, Lee, andMustard 2005, 2006). Stater (2009) found that GPA is positively related to both need-based aid and merit-based aid; however, merit-based aid (scholarships) had a much larger effect on GPA than need-based aid.…”

Governments all over the world have been improving their educational sector through funding programs aimed at reducing the financial burden on parents, increasing access and quality to education. The government of Ghana in 2017 switched policy to a free senior high school policy to reduce poverty by finally eliminating the financial burdens parents face in paying their children's fees. This study seeks to evaluate the appropriateness of the free senior high policy in replacing the pre-existing progressive free policy. The questionnaire survey was used to collect primary data for this study. The descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data of this study. A total number of Two hundred (200) responses were retrieved, and out of those retrieved, 57 were females, and 143 were males. All 200 responses were usable in this study. The free senior high policy proved to put more butts on seats in helping to reduce financial burdens on parents than the pre-existing progressive free policy since nothing is paid by parents or guardians.
