The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has slammed the Akufo-Addo led government for very poor in policy making, delivery in education and also lacks prioritization.
According to Mr. Mahama, this has adversely affected all levels of education from basic, through secondary, right up to tertiary which has left the students of Ghana suffering immeasurably.
Speaking at the KNUST NDC’s Tertiary Education Institutional Network (TEIN) Alumni connect 2023 event in Kumasi, Mr Mahama stated that the government should learn to prioritize its programmes and policies.
He noted that non-release of funds, poor management of curricular among others have created a conditions that are far from ideal.
According to the former President, the situation threatens the achievement of quality outcomes in our education.
“NABCO trainees have been abandoned and owed many months of salary arrears but of course we all know that the NPP lacks prioritization.
“Because I dare say that the money that was spent in buying votes and building ad hoc roads in Kumawu and Assin North could have cleared all the arrears of NABCO trainees and also clear all arrears of the Buffer Stock Food Suppliers. But unfortunately, their priorities are different. Yet more slogans are being coined around the important matter of job creation and there’s no indication that government can be relied upon to give any hope in this direction,” Mr. Mahama stated.
The KNUST NDC’s TEIN Alumni Connect 2023 event held over the weekend on KNUST campus was graced by Alex Mould, Former Attorney General, Betty Mould Iddrisu, and Member of Parliament for Asawase Constituency Muntaka Mohammed and former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah.
