The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has vowed to decrease data costs and provide free Wi-Fi in schools nationwide if he is elected in the upcoming general election.
He expressed confidence in the NDC’s capacity to achieve this, emphasizing the use of fiber and satellite internet technologies to deliver free Wi-Fi to public institutions.
During the launch of the NDC’s Youth Manifesto on August 12 at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Auditorium, Mahama said, “We will work with the telecom companies to reduce data cost and deploy free Wi-Fi in all our schools and selected public places,” he said.
Mahama alsostated that his government will introduce the ‘No Fees Stress’ initiative, aimed at fully supporting eligible tertiary students through the Students Loan Trust Fund.
Additionally, he mentioned plans to improve educational access by expanding infrastructure in existing secondary schools and committing resources to complete the E-blocks.
