Some students from the University of Ghana have shared their views and expectations on the launch of the 2020 manifesto of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Democratic National Congress is expected to release its 2020 Manifesto before the general election on December 7 today, September 7, 2020.
The launch was postponed from the initial date of September 1 by the NDC Functional Executive Committee.
The rescheduling, the party said, was to allow its National Executive Committee and Council of Elders to approve the principles and policy strategies promised in the manifesto.
In light of that, UniversNews took to the streets of the University of Ghana to seek the opinions and expectations of the students before the launch of the Manifesto.
A graduate student in Science urged the NDC to outline policies that bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical aspects of the courses implemented by the various tertiary institutions.
“I am waiting for you [NDC] to come up with policies that can help shape the curriculum, because the country’s education system is too much of theories. When you finish school is when you realize that you are not using about 70% of what you learned in school. Policies should introduce students to courses that can train their minds to create something for yourself, so that you are not dependent on the government, ”she said.
According to a medical student named Edem Asante, the NDC should invest more in education in an attempt to promote more research and practical work.
“I think it is time for leaders to review our educational system. We lack the facilities. We need to invest more in our education system and the government should use more of our own tertiary education student and expert. Why don’t we hire our own people to do the work, in terms of road construction and others? Edem said.
However, a student from the College of Arts expressed the opinion that she hopes that the NDC will continue with the implementation of the Free SHS Scheme.
“I don’t really expect much from the NDC when it comes to education because I think the PNP has already done a lot in that area, but I hope they will improve the education system in terms of infrastructure and I pray that they will continue the SHS,” Grace added.
