He hinted that, at a later date, before the election 2020, he intends to layout in details before all stakeholders and the good people of Ghana his blue print for the educational sector and especially the NDC’s plan for making the free SHS program more sustainable. Adding that, he intends to continue to clear the path way so that the pathway towards technical and vocational education training from the basic level through the secondary level to the tertiary level would be an alternative of first choice and not an alternative of rejected students. According to former President John Dramani Mahama, he is even going to expand the policy by providing the needed infrastructure to make the policy more attractive to students and also to clear the mess the NPP has created in the senior high schools. He called on the general public to disregard the lies by the ruling New Patriotic Party that he will collapse free SHS when re- elected the president of the Republic.
