Manifesto Launch: NDC will provide free tertiary education for PWDs
The former President and the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has revealed that his party will provide free tertiary education for all Persons With Disabilities(PWDs).
According to the former President, this will ensure PWDs had equitable and equal access to education without barriers.
Speaking at the just ended NDC Manifesto launch at the University of Education, Winneba, John Mahama noted that his government would promote the establishment of Tertiary Endowment Funds.
According to him, this would be in partnership with alumni, philanthropists
and corporate Ghana, among others, to
support students in public tertiary
universities.
The NDC flagbearer further said his administration would implement a “Bed-for-All” programme by building on-campus affordable student hostels and expand accommodation facilities through Public-Private Partnerships with universities.
Mr Mahama said he would implement a “No-Academic-Fee” policy for first-year students in all public tertiary institutions, including universities, colleges of education and nursing training colleges.
“We will also provide continuing students with financial assistance by reintroducing and redeploying our Student Loan Trust Fund Plus and a reformed scholarship
regime,” he added.
