Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Presidential Running Mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), says the party’s manifesto on education is meant to build a resilient and vibrant human resource base for the country.

The party under its manifesto intends to raise the levels of numeracy, literacy, self-esteem and responsible citizenship by extending opportunities to commercial drivers, market women, labourers, amongst others, through an extended complementary basic education based on more flexible school hours.

Additionally, it has promised to expand the Free Senior High School Programme to cover students in private schools in deprived areas, strengthen and sustain private participation in the delivery of secondary education.
