Flagbearer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has assured Ghanaians that the next NDC government address challenges of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
Speaking to a gathering with representatives from various teacher unions, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers Mahama promised to hold a stakeholder forum on education in his first 100 days as president to solicit inputs on how to improve and deliver quality education.
Mahama noted that he has plans of making the education system better.
“Within the first 100 days of me 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 stakeholder’s 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,” Mahama added.
