Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that the next NDC administration will prioritise addressing the challenges surrounding the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy.
This commitment comes amid widespread concerns regarding both the implementation and financing of the policy.
During a meeting with the leadership of teacher unions, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Mr. Mahama outlined strategies to strengthen the education sector.
Mr. Mahama said he would hold a stakeholder forum on education in his first 100 days as president to solicit inputs on how to improve and deliver quality education.
“Within the first hundred days of my becoming president, we will hold a stakeholder dialogue on education. It will have as part of its focus the implementational bottlenecks of the Free SHS, but it is also going to deal with how we can improve financing and teaching and learning at the basic school level and so at that stakeholders engagement, NAGRAT, GNAT, parents, students, educational experts, everybody is going to be there and we are going to have a discussion on access, on equity, on affordability, and on financing our educational system.”
