False! NDC’s Prof Opoku-Agyemang did not advocate for some SHSs to be reserved for the privileged

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Claim: Viral TikTok’s post claims that Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has said that schools like Prempeh and Presec should not be part of the Free SHS policy. 

Source: nartpee69, TikTok, also seen on Facebook and threads. (Archived here, here & here).

Verdict: False

Explanation: The claim is attributed to Kumasi-based Kapital Radio and features the station’s name, logo and news card design. However, when the team went through the organisation’s social media handles, we did not find the particular artwork there.

The Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition also ran a keyword and reverse images search and found that no major media house reported this claim. The National Democratic Party’s Vice Presidential aspirant has also debunked the post on her official Facebook page.
