I’ll Review Govt’s TVET And STEM – Mahama Outlines His Educational Reforms

Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has outlined his educational reforms for Ghana if elected President in the December 7 polls.

He highlighted that his administration “will focus on adopting ‘first language’ as a medium of instruction from KG to Basic 3 and training more teachers in major local languages to facilitate teaching and learning at the basic levels”.

He added; “Timely disbursement of the capitation grant to education directorates and schools will be a priority, as well as removing the capping and collateralisation of the GETFUND and resuming the free sanitary pad distribution policy.”

He also stressed he will review the government’s TVET and STEM programmes.

“We also plan to review and improve the implementation of the Free SHS policy, resolve its associated challenges, and mainstream TVET and STEM in all secondary schools.”
