The NDC will improve Free SHS – John Mahama, ahead of 2020 Elections

The NDC will improve Free SHS – John Mahama, ahead of 2020 Elections

John Dramani Mahama - Flagbearer, NDC

Former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has reiterated his resolve to improve the Free Senior High School programme should he win the 2020 presidential elections.

The NDC flagbearer said nobody can abolish the programme as being alleged he will do if elected president in the 2020 general elections.

While he was addressing traditional leaders in the Avenor traditional area in his Volta Regional tour, John Mahama said the NDC government started the Free SHS policy and was progressively implementing it before leaving office. However, the New Patriotic Patriotic Party (NPP) failed to take off from where his government ended.

“We started it [Free SHS]. It is in our Constitution. We started it in 2015. We made it free for all-day students and then we added boarding students in 2016 and then we left office and the new government came. And so it is logical that they continue free SHS. But the mode of implementation has been very poor and that is why I say when we come, we will make it better. There is nobody who can abolish free SHS in this country, and so if anybody comes and says John Mahama says when he comes he will abolish free SHS, he is a liar. What we are going to do is to make it better,” he said.

Again, he noted that the government’s lack of vision has resulted in congestion in various Senior High Schools, which is consequently forcing it to adopt a double-track system of education to accommodate the large student population.

He added that he expected the Akufo-Addo government to complete the Community Day SHS building projects his government started, intended to accommodate the increased number of enrolments.

“Unfortunately, this current president did not have the vision, because he should have just continued the Secondary schools we were building. You would not have had the double-track problem that you have today because those schools would have completed and the children will have access and you will not have the congestion,” he pointed out.

‘Focus on TVET’

Meanwhile, John Mahama said his government will make technical and vocational education free to ensure that educated young people are skilled enough to meet the demands on the job market.

“For the countries that have developed, they developed not because of long grammar [or] English education. They have developed because of technical and vocational education and training…That is why I am proposing free technical and vocational training for anyone. So all the children who opt for technical and vocational training, they would have free access until they reach technical university so that we will be able to create that manpower that we need to be able to move the nation forward,” he noted.
