Education Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh, aka "Napo", insists that the Free High School High School (SHS) policy will not survive under a National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.

As a result, he urged Ghanaians to renew the mandate of President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2020 to advance the positive social intervention policy.

Distressed, he said that several NDC lieutenants, led by ex-president Mahama, a beneficiary of free education, warned of ending the free SHS program if they resumed the power.

Napo has urged citizens to vote at all times en mbade for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which is the only political party that has the interests and the good progress of the country at heart.

He wondered why the NDC could even consider ending a policy like the free SHS, which has so far allowed every Ghanaian child enrolled to go to school and school. to be educated as soon as he has power.

According to him, Mr. Mahama, NDC Secretary General, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, and the former Minister of Education, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, have publicly pledged to defeat this policy if the NDC gained power.

Napo said the NDC's open threats against free SHS policy should not be overshadowed, saying the only way to protect this policy is to vote overwhelmingly for Nana Akufo-Addo in 2020.

In an interview with Asempa FM, the Education Minister, who also serves as the deputy of Manhyia South, said the NDCs claim that there is not enough of it. infrastructure for the free SHS program, which is not convincing.

He asked if there were enough clbadrooms when Ghana's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, introduced free education in northern Ghana, from which Mr. Mahama benefited.

"Mr. Mahama's father was a wealthy minister at the time, but he took his son (Mahama) from Achimota to the north for a free education Ask Mahama if we had enough infrastructure at the time?

According to Napo, Mahama recently said that he would re-examine the SHS free movement policy once elected president "after his previous threats of a collapse of positive politics were condemned by Ghanaians".

He said, however, that no one, such as NDC Secretary General Asiedu Nketiah, had insisted that the NDC would collapse the policy of free movement of human goods, so his threats should be taken seriously.
