The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will address key education stakeholders, including parents and students, on his vision for a future full of opportunities and skills for Ghanaian youth.
Scheduled for November 10, 2024, the broadcast will outline his commitment to strengthen and protect the Free Senior High School (SHS) and Free Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs.
In a press statement released by his spokesperson, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Dr. Bawumia acknowledged the concerns raised by parents and students about the future of Free SHS. The program has helped thousands of young Ghanaians access secondary education without the burden of financial constraints.
“We understand the importance of Free SHS to parents and young people across Ghana. My commitment is to not only protect this program but to expand it to cover the skill-based learning many of our youth need,” Dr. Bawumia had stated in a recent engagement.
On November 6, 2024, Miracles Aboagye released an official statement highlighting the crucial role of skill development in Dr. Bawumia’s vision.
“This engagement will focus on empowering our youth with job-ready skills, which is why the NPP has such a strong focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education,” Aboagye emphasized in his statement.
The upcoming broadcast will mark Dr Bawumia’s second major address to the youth in just a few weeks.
