The flag bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahamasa, says he will support any bill that intends to improve education in Ghana.
Responding to a question on whether he was in
support of the Free Senior High School Bill, he said he was in support of any bill that would improve the policy.
He, however, underscored the need for it to be subjected to a stakeholder consultation.
Mr. Mahama said at a media engagement in Accra on Sunday, July 7, that the bill must be subjected to stakeholder engagement.
“I support any bill that will improve our education, one to make it sustainable, two to afford quality education for our children, and also any bill that will achieve this is something that I will support.
“I haven’t seen the Bill and I don’t think that it has been subjected yet to stakeholder consultation but we would want to see the Bill and I am sure that when Cabinet has approved it it will be laid in parliament when it is valid in parliament as parliamentarian the normal action is to refer it to the committee responsible.
“I am hoping that when that Bill is referred to the committee responsible it will do the proper stakeholder consultation so that we all can be of on board. If you are making fundamental changes to our educational system I think that parents, teachers and everybody who has a stake in education must be involved.”
