The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has highlighted the party’s transformative achievements in education, presenting them as a foundation for Ghana’s future development.
Speaking at the NPP’s final rally at the University of Ghana Stadium in Accra, Dr. Bawumia underscored the government’s commitment to making education accessible to all Ghanaians.
The Free Senior High School (SHS) policy has changed the lives of 5.7 million children. It has ensured that no child is left behind because of financial barriers. This is what progress looks like.
He also celebrated the introduction of free Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), a program designed to equip young Ghanaians with practical skills for the modern job market.
We haven’t just expanded access to education; we’ve invested over GH¢6 billion to make technical and vocational training free for our youth.
Dr. Bawumia noted that these policies were born from the NPP’s forward-thinking approach, which he described as a “mindset of possibilities.” He contrasted this vision with what he called the “limited ambition” of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
I challenge my opponent, John Mahama, to name one educational initiative during his presidency that impacted the whole nation.
The NPP flag bearer argued that education is key to building a prosperous future, emphasizing that the party’s investments in both traditional and technical education reflect its commitment to preparing Ghana’s youth for global opportunities.
Dr. Bawumia urged Ghanaians to vote for the NPP to secure the gains made in education.
This election is about moving forward—about continuing to build a brighter future for the next generation.
The rally, dubbed the “Possibilities Victory Rally,” marked the climax of the NPP’s 2024 campaign and drew thousands of supporters from across the country.
The event, filled with music, dance, and vibrant displays of party colors, served as a platform for Dr. Bawumia to reiterate the NPP’s vision of a more educated and empowered Ghana.
