National Democratic Congress (NDC) standard-bearer John Mahama says that within a year in office, he will eliminate the two-track system that has plagued the smooth implementation of the free SHS Program.
To achieve his goal, the former president said his government will embark on a fast-track program to complete abandoned community day schools, expand infrastructure in existing schools, and include private schools in the free SHS program.
Addressing a Durbar community of chiefs and farmers in Fawohoyeden in the North Asunafo district of the Ahafo region, Mr. Mahama said that he has always championed free quality SHS.
According to him, claims that he would cancel SHS’s free program are false, pointing out that he started the program with day students during his administration.
While acknowledging that the country during the NDC era was not paradise, President Mahama maintained that the NDC has a better track record than the NPP, explaining that today everyone is suffering and can hardly make ends meet.
“These days nothing works. Whether as a farmer, trader, driver or mechanic, the difficulty is unbearable everywhere, “he lamented, adding” we have to go back for the NDC and I know that by the grace of God, we will be victorious. “
He announced to the farming community that when he wins the December 2020 elections, his government will reintroduce the free cocoa fertilizer intervention that was aborted by the PNP, to bring relief to cocoa farmers.
It also outlined a number of policies contained in the 2020 NDC People’s Manifesto, including the Free Primary Health Care Plan, Free Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and the Free Apprenticeship Program.
