Adom TV on Friday, August 16th, 2024, hosted the pivotal third edition of the Adom TV Sectoral Debate at the Accra Digital Center ahead of the December general elections.
This crucial event served as a platform for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to present compelling reasons why Ghanaians should cast their votes in their favour.
Deputy Ranking Member on Education for the Minority, Clement Abas Apaak, and Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. John Ntim Foudjour, highlighted their political parties achievements in the education sector and what to expect should they win the December elections.
Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. Ntim Fordjour emphasized that under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, a total of 3,001 vital projects have been successfully completed in the education sector since 2017.
This includes 1,561 projects focused on basic education, 1,267 in Senior High Schools (SHS), 16 E-blocks, 2 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centers, 153 in tertiary institutions, and 2 model schools. These achievements demonstrate our commitment to providing quality education and infrastructure for the benefit of all students.
Dr. Apaak also emphasized that under the leadership of John Mahama, the upcoming NDC government aims to abolish the teacher trainee licensure examination should they win the December 7 elections.
“The next Mahama administration will cancel the licensure examination for Teacher Trainee graduates and post teachers immediately after completion without requiring national service. We will replace the licensure exams with a course that the teacher trainees will take in their final year and assessments going forward,” he said.
