The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has commended the NPP government for its significant efforts in transforming the education sector since assuming office in 2016.
Addressing constituents in Ledzokuku as part of his tour in the Greater Accra Region on Thursday, September 12, he highlighted the numerous challenges facing the education system prior to the NPP’s tenure, including a lack of basic resources like chalk for teachers.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the NPP government has implemented various initiatives to address these challenges, resulting in substantial progress. He noted that Senior High School enrollment has increased from 800,000 students in 2016 to 1.4 million today, thanks to the introduction of Free SHS. Additionally, the government has launched an initiative to distribute tablets to senior high school students to enhance teaching and learning.
Dr. Bawumia contrasted the NPP’s achievements with the performance of former President John Dramani Mahama, urging the people of Ledzokuku to vote for the NPP to ensure a better future for their children. He emphasized that Ghanaians can attest to the significant difference between the NPP’s initiatives and the previous administration’s lack of progress in the education sector.
