We've made strides in ensuring gender parity in education

Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Minister for Education, has highlighted the strides made in promoting gender parity in education under the current administration.

Speaking on the occasion of International Girl Child Day, Dr Prempeh emphasised the importance of ensuring equal access to education for all children, especially girls.

According to him, the policy has significantly increased the enrollment of girls in secondary schools, bridging the gender gap in education.

He further explained that, through the Free SHS programme, many girls who previously faced financial barriers to education have been able to pursue their studies without the burden of school fees.
