Gloria Owusu, the parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Trobu seat, has strongly hinted at the potential collapse of the Free Senior High School (SHS) program in the event that John Mahama, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, wins the president.
Gloria Owusu highlighted Mahama’s historical opposition to the Free SHS policy, emphasising that the NDC flagbearer had vehemently criticised its feasibility since its inception.
She argued that Mahama’s lack of belief in the pro-poor initiative indicated a looming collapse for the programme if he were to be elected.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s vision for Ghana’s educational system was further emphasized by Gloria Owusu, who insisted that “Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s vision on education is one to build Ghana and leverage on technology, data, and systems for inclusive education.”
“Under the competent Dr. Bawumia, Free SHS would not be cancelled, contrary to the intentions of the NDC’s incompetent leader who has pledged to cancel it in event he is elected. Dr. Bawumia’s presidency shall improve on it,” She told Kwaku Owusu Adjei on Adwenekasa on Accra-based Original FM 91.9.
