That is what we want to hear from them, and not a stakeholder forum. If you tell me you will hold a stakeholder forum, then you yourself don\u2019t appreciate what must change or what must not change, what must happen to improve the policy. Come up with what any keen observer, participant, analyst in the education space, including the minority leaders in the education sector will appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do not believe in holding a stakeholder forum to discuss what we have done on our policy. The stakeholders have raised these concerns in the last seven years. NDC is corporate of these concerns. They should tell us what they will do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0<strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No spams, just the stories that truly matter!\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f310.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf10\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f4f0.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf0\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/>\u00a0#StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Education think tank, Africa Education Watch, is demanding clarity from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding its plans to review the free Senior High School policy.
