The Opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) has promised to provide tuition-free education for first year students in public universities.
This policy is part of the party's broader reforms aimed at making higher education more accessible, particularly for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
At the party's youth manifesto launch in Accra on Monday, 12 August 2024, the party's flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, outlined several key proposals, including the "24-hour economy policy."
This initiative aims to stimulate economic activity around the clock, potentially creating more job opportunities and boosting productivity.
"We will create an enabling environment for young people to thrive and lay a foundation for prosperous Ghanaians, not just a few,"Mahama stated. "We will increase access to quality education from the basic and second cycle to tertiary levels, as well as affordable healthcare and numerous job creation programs."
Additionally, the party proposed the establishment of a Ministry for Youth
Development.
According to Mahama, this ministry would focus on unlocking the full potential of Ghana's young people.
