Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pleaded with Ghanaians to vote massively for him to protect the gains that have been made in the education sector by President Akufo-Addo’s government.
According to him, the huge investment made so far by the NPP government since 2017 had brought about a massive development at various levels of education in the country.
He enumerated the various interventions and policies, including the Free Senior High (FSHS) Policy among others that Ghanaians should use their votes to protect.
Dr Bawumia’s plea was contained in a speech read for him at the launch of National Education Week 2024 in Accra yesterday. He cautioned Ghanaians to think critically about whom they should vote for and not let any propaganda or lies deceive them into voting for politicians who might only be interested in winning elections but do not believe in the welfare of the ordinary Ghanaian.
In his view, voting massively for the NPP and all its candidates across the country during the upcoming December 7 general elections would inure to their future benefits.
The Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, on his part, praised the President for giving him the opportunity to serve the people of Ghana during his first and second term of office in government.
The Education Minister, who is also the Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe Constituency, pledged to continuously work hard towards the development of the nation’s education sector and all other sectors of the economy.
The week-long annual event, with the theme: “The Education Transformation Agenda; evidence from 2017,” attracted educational experts from across the globe to discuss and share ideas on the state of education in the country, share best practices and present papers among others.
