The future doesn\u2019t belong to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia because he is current. He is the one who is going to lead you into the future. And ask yourself, who can be my father such that the person will think about my well-being? All elections are about your well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NAPO also condemned the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) for petitioning the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over alleged discrimination in the Free Senior High School programme.<\/p>\n<p>The private schools contend that the government\u2019s 30 percent priority placement policy, which reserves seats at Category A senior high schools for public school students is discriminatory towards private school students.<\/p>\n<p>However, on Tuesday, November 19, during an engagement with students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), the NPP\u2019s running mate rebuked the private schools for their stance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard Ghana National Association of Private Schools are telling us that they are going to court to stop the Free SHS for allocating 30 percent of placements to poor children who go to public schools: the audacity, the audacity, the nerve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality was that when I introduced 30 percent for equity, I didn\u2019t pluck it from the sky. It already existed but abused for the well-connected and the privileged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><br \/><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><br \/><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has declared that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is Ghana\u2019s best option in the upcoming December elections.
