Former President John Mahama has reiterated his resolve to improve the free education programme should his National Democratic Congress (NDC) win the 2020 presidential elections.
John Mahama said his government will make technical and vocational education free to ensure that educated young people are skilled enough to meet the demands of the job market.
Addressing traditional leaders in the Avenor traditional area as part of his Volta Regional tour, John Mahama said;
“For the countries that have developed, they developed not because of long grammar [or] English education. They have developed because of technical and vocational education and training…That is why I am proposing free technical and vocational training for anyone. So all the children who opt for technical and vocational training, they would have free access until they reach technical university so that we will be able to create that manpower that we need to be able to move the nation forward,” he said.
