Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka \u2018Napo\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\nEDUCATION Minister, Dr.
\nMatthew Opoku Prempeh aka \u2018Napo\u2019, insists the free Senior
\nHigh School (SHS) policy will not survive under a National Democratic Congress
\n(NDC) government.<\/p>\n
Consequently, he has
\nadmonished Ghanaians to renew the mandate of President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2020
\nto ensure the progress of the positive social intervention policy.<\/p>\n
Sounding peeved, he said
\nseveral NDC lieutenants, led by ex-President Mahama, who is a beneficiary of
\nfree education, have warned to collapse the free SHS programme should they win
\npower again.<\/p>\n
Napo therefore entreated the
\ncitizenry to, at all times, vote massively for the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
\nsince it is the only political party that has the interest and proper progress
\nof the country at heart.<\/p>\n
He wondered why the NDC could
\neven think about collapsing a policy like the free SHS, which has so far made
\nit possible for every Ghanaian school-going child to be in school and get
\neducated, when they get power.<\/p>\n
According to him, Mr. Mahama,
\nNDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and ex-Minister of Education,
\nProf. Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, have publicly vowed to collapse the policy if
\nNDC wins power.<\/p>\n
Napo stated that the NDCs\u2019
\nopen threats against the free SHS policy should not be swept under the carpet,
\nsaying that the only way to protect the free SHS policy, is to vote massively
\nfor Nana Akufo-Addo in 2020.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Asempa FM,
\nthe Education Minister, who doubles as MP for Manhyia South, noted that the
\nNDCs claims that there are not enough infrastructure for the free SHS programme
\nis not convincing.<\/p>\n
He asked if there were enough
\nclassrooms when Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, introduced free
\nEducation in the northern parts of Ghana, of which Mr. Mahama benefitted from.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Mahama\u2019s father was a
\nminister and rich at the time, yet he took his son (Mahama) from Achimota to
\nthe north to benefit from free education. Ask Mahama whether we had enough
\ninfrastructures at the time?\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Napo, Mr. Mahama
\nrecently turned to state that he would review the free SHS policy when elected
\nas president \u201cafter his earlier threats to collapse the positive policy was
\ncondemned by Ghanaians\u201d.<\/p>\n
He, however, stated that no mean a personality like the NDC General Secretary, Asiedu Nketiah, has still been insisting that the NDC would collapse the free SHS policy, so his threats should be taken serious.<\/p>\n
