Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government has the best record in education in Ghana’s history - Ofosu Nkansah

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has praised the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo/Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia government for what he describes as the best record in education in Ghana's history.

According to the CEO, the government's education policies, particularly the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) programme, have transformed the sector and widened access to education for students across the country.

Ofosu Nkansah, who made these remarks in a post shared on Facebook on Thursday, September 26, 2024, added that these policies have enabled thousands of young Ghanaians to pursue education, which would have otherwise been inaccessible to them due to financial constraints.

He also praised the government for significant strides in infrastructure development across educational institutions in the country.

He pointed to the construction and rehabilitation of classroom blocks, dormitories, and other essential facilities in schools as proof of the administration's commitment to improving the quality of education in Ghana.

These improvements, he argued, "ensure that students can learn in more conducive environments, fostering better academic outcomes."

The CEO also highlighted the government’s focus on expanding technical and vocational education (TVET), which he said was a strategic shift that has not only provided students with practical skills to thrive in the job market but also addressed the growing demand for skilled labour in the country's industrial sectors.

He argued that TVET expansion is a major pillar of the government’s efforts to create employment opportunities and reduce youth unemployment.

Nkansah noted that the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration’s education policies have created a legacy that will benefit future generations, urging Ghanaians to recognise these achievements and continue supporting the government’s efforts in ensuring sustained development in the education sector.
