Former President John Mahama has pledged that a future National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will focus on alleviating the financial burdens faced by parents and students in public tertiary institutions.
In a Facebook post on Friday, September 27, Mr Mahama highlighted the pressing need for accessible and affordable education as a fundamental right for all Ghanaians.
Mr Mahama emphasised that education should not be a privilege reserved for the wealthy but a right accessible to everyone.
He expressed concern over the rising costs of education and the financial strain it places on families, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.
In his post, Mr Mahama revealed plans for scholarships, reduced tuition fees, and increased funding for public universities to help lessen the economic pressures on families.
