President-elect John Dramani Mahama has outlined several initiatives aimed at enhancing tertiary education in Ghana following his recent election victory.
Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities
Mahama has pledged to provide free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities. This initiative is part of his broader commitment to inclusivity and support for marginalized groups.
Elimination of First-Year University Fees
To improve access to higher education, Mahama has promised to eliminate first-year university fees. This policy aims to reduce the financial burden on students and their families, encouraging higher enrollment rates in tertiary institutions.
30-Point Policy to Improve Education
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), under Mahama’s leadership, has introduced a comprehensive 30-point policy aimed at overhauling the education sector. While specific details are yet to be fully disclosed, the policy is expected to address various challenges within the education system, including tertiary education.
These initiatives reflect Mahama’s commitment to making tertiary education more accessible and equitable for all Ghanaians.
