In an interview on Okay FM, a spokesperson for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Miracles Aboagye has launched a scathing critique of former President John Dramani Mahama’s understanding of the NPP’s flagship educational policy, the Free Senior High School (SHS) program.

The spokesperson, Aboagye, expressed concern over what he described as Mahama’s lack of comprehension of the double-track system that forms part of the policy, which has been instrumental in providing more students with access to secondary education.

“The double-track system was introduced to ease congestion in schools, allowing more students to attend classes while new infrastructure was being built.

The current government has already constructed additional classrooms to support this initiative. So, I find it quite puzzling when Mahama talks about building more schools,” Aboagye remarked during the interview.

He continued, questioning the practicality of Mahama’s suggestions to improve the Free SHS program by constructing additional classrooms, pointing out that the current administration had already addressed this issue.

“What more can Mahama contribute in this area? He claims he would build more schools, but we’ve already done that. Despite the progress made, is he suggesting that his approach is the only solution?”

Miracles Aboagye further raised concerns about the potential negative impact of Mahama’s proposed changes to the existing system.

He asked, “What will happen to the students currently benefiting from the double-track system? If Mahama disrupts this process to build new classrooms, who will bear the cost of that disruption?”

With the upcoming election drawing near, Aboagye urged Ghanaians to reject Mahama’s proposals, insisting that the educational process would be streamlined under a future government led by Dr. Bawumia, making it more efficient and accessible.

“A Bawumia-led government will build on the progress made and ensure that our education system meets the needs of all students across the country,” Aboagye assured voters.
