Education Minister. Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, says there’s never been a better time for students to study in Ghana than under the Akufo-Addo government.
According to him, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has initiated many policies to the benefit of Ghanaian students.
Addressing members of the Ghanaian community in Paris, he said the introduction of the Free SHS policy has resulted in an increment in student enrolment by some 31%.
“For the first time in 10 years, under President Akufo-Addo, we have said this and nobody has been able to dispute it, every child in every secondary school has been supplied with all the core textbooks. It has never happened before,” the Minister said.
“Not only have we supplied the core textbooks, but we have also supplied revision books in Maths. Not only that, we are buying questions and answers of the past WAEC exams since 1993 for the students to learn. There is no better time to study that now.”
Dr. Opoku Prempeh also dispelled claims that students are not being properly taught under the Double Track system.
According to him, 8,000 teachers were specifically employed following the enrollment of the system.
