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.
