I’ll prioritise revival of abandoned TVET and E-blocks – Mahama

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), recently engaged with teacher union representatives at the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) headquarters in Accra.

During this meeting, he shared his comprehensive vision for advancing Ghana’s education sector.

Mr. Mahama, in a session held on Saturday, April 20, emphasized his commitment to executing educational reforms within the first 100 days of his potential administration, should he be elected.

Key to these reforms would be the adoption of the mother tongue as the medium of instruction from kindergarten through Basic 3, along with enhancing teacher training in predominant local languages to boost early education.

Further, he pledged to improve access to reading materials by constructing more libraries and ensuring the consistent provision of textbooks and reading materials across all basic schools.

Addressing the financial aspects, Mahama promised prompt distribution of the capitation grant and spoke against the capping and collateralisation of the GETFund, alongside reinstating the free sanitary pad distribution to promote girls’ education.

Highlighting his focus on infrastructure, Mahama declared his intention to revive the neglected Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and E-block projects.

This initiative aims to alleviate school overcrowding and elevate the standard of education.

In addition to refining the Free SHS policy, his administration would seek to address its challenges and incorporate TVET and STEM more comprehensively across secondary schools.

Concluding his remarks, Mahama expressed his eagerness to maintain an ongoing dialogue with teacher unions and other stakeholders to craft impactful educational policies.

“Together, we can create a more inclusive and superior education system for our children and our nation’s future,” he affirmed, appreciating the contributions and insights from all participating teacher unions.
