He said TESCON had over the years evolved from a movement into the “most formidable, well structured, vibrant student based political grouping," and a strategic part of the Party’s structure.

He said the current NPP government had achieved a lot in three years, with special focus on improving youth absorbent job sectors including teaching, and nursing, whiles ensuring that educational support benefited all, and therefore deserved another term in office.
