Next NDC government will improve Free SHS - Opoku-Agyemang

Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the Running Mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has assured Ghanaians that the Free Secondary Education Policy will not be abolished by the next NDC government.

She urged Ghanaians to disregard the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government's propaganda that the next Mahama administration would cancel the policy.

A statement issued by James Agyenim-Boateng, the spokesman for the NDC Running Mate, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, stated that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang made this assertion during her address to NDC members and supporters at New Tafo Zongo, as part of her one-day tour of the Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang affirmed that the NDC would not cancel the free education policy, which began as 'progressively free' under the Mahama administration.

"They are going around peddling falsehoods that Mahama will cancel Free SHS. It is not true. Mahama is not a wicked person to cancel the policy," she said.

She emphasized that the next NDC administration would instead improve the free education system by working diligently to ease congestion in schools and provide learning materials and adequate food for students.
