Former President John Dramani Mahama, claims the NDC government started the Free Senior High School (FSHS) programme in 2015.
The presidential aspirant of NDC posited that the current government poorly implemented the FSHS programme, which compelled them to adopt the double-track system, and that he would abolish it when voted into power.
“We started the programme and the NPP came and continued it. Unfortunately the implementation has been very poor, and so it ended us in double track. I assure you my country men, that within one year, I will cancel the double track,” Mr Mahama stressed at Tuobong, a community in the Tempane District of the Upper East Region.
Mr. Mahama is on a three-day campaign tour of the Region to amass votes in the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
He said when voted back into government, “All the Community Day Schools we were building, 200 of them, we are going to finish them so that all the children can get schools to attend.
“With the Community Day Schools we are building, we are going to add dormitory blocks for girls and boys so that those who don’t come from the community where the school is sited, if they choose that school and they are posted there, they will be able to get a decent place to live and learn.”
Mr Mahama has also said on countless occasions that he will not cancel the FSHS programme but will rather come up with ways to improve it.
