  • A social problem or a sacred promise? Explaining the mechanisms driving fee-free educational policy change in Ghana

    Open AccessGabriel Asante, György Gajduschek et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies2025References: 28

    Explaining policy change has been one of the major concerns of educational policy studies. Guided by the multiple streams framework (MSF), this article aims to explain the specific dynamics of cost-elimination policies at the high school level in Ghana. Through the thematic analysis of interviews, documents, and other resources, we argue that an exceptional confluence of problems, policies, and politics has shaped the Ghanaian educational policy …

  • (De)centralisation in fee-free policymaking process

    Open AccessGabriel Asante, Godfred Bonnah Nkansah et al.ARTICLEPolicy Futures in Education2024

    The underlying ambition of fee-free education is to increase school access. This study reflects on decentralisation in the decision-making process and implementation of fee-free policies. We compare two policies at the high school level in Ghana to evaluate the differences and commonalities in how they responded to school access. We used interviews and secondary sources of data for qualitative content analysis. Haddad and Demsky’s rationality fra…

    Governments in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are expanding access to high school education, which is a perpetuation of the previous focus on basic education. This study applies qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) using data from seven countries from 2010 to 2020 to examine the potential conditions of fee-free policies at the high school level. Five potential conditions are analyzed. They include the regime type, electoral competition, ideological l…

  • The positive externality of education on crime

    Open AccessGabriel Asante, Attila BarthaARTICLECogent Social Sciences2022

    Although researchers have investigated the association between education and crime, few studies have studied Sub-Saharan Africa, which has the lowest rate of youth enrolled in high school. Notwithstanding, some countries are paying attention to high school education, whereby specific policies often termed “cost elimination” are designed to facilitate free education. At the micro-to-micro level, it is argued that enrolling and completing high scho…

  • Retracted Article

    Open AccessGabriel Asante, György Gajduschek et al.ARTICLEPolicy Sciences2022References: 11

    Policy change frameworks are commonly used to understand policy development processes. However, few studies have attempted to apply these frameworks to the recent popular fee-free policy education at the high school level in Sub-Saharan Africa. Investigating fee-free policy development through policy change frameworks can assist both in identifying the genesis of past policies, including who the important actors are, how issues are framed and pro…
