Bernard Allotey Jacobs has criticized former President John Mahama regarding his commitment to improve Ghana’s education system.
During an interaction with the youth at the launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto, John Dramani Mahama remarked that the Free SHS policy implemented by Akufo-Addo has faced numerous challenges over the years, primarily due to insufficient infrastructure, inadequate funding, and a lack of motivation among both teaching and non-teaching staff.
While addressing attendees at the University of Professional Studies in Accra on Monday, August 12, Mr. Mahama presented his proposed solutions.
we shall decentralize the procurement of food and other supplies to the headmaster’s school basis. In order to improve the quality of food and also boost the local economies in the district where the schools are located.
We shall expand access by building more infrastructure in existing secondary schools, and we shall dedicate funding to completing the E blocks in order that more children can have the opportunity to go to school.
In response to this manifesto during the ‘Kokrokoo’ panel discussion on Peace FM, Allotey Jacobs, the former Central Regional Chairman of the NDC, expressed skepticism regarding Mahama’s willingness to fulfill his pledges to abolish the Free SHS double track system, implement free tertiary education, and ensure a seamless student loan payment process, should he be elected President once more.
An afterthought, something that can engineer noise-making.
