The Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has said, he did not see the vision of former President John Dramani Mahama who said that he had a vision of a progressive Free SHS but did not want to pay for the progressive.
The deputy minister explained that despite the introduction of the progressive Free SHS under the Mahama administration, the amount of money given to the schools was not paid for by the former president.
In video sighted by Ghanaarticles.com, the deputy education minister explained that the former president needed to pay the schools because “he eliminated the day school fees and then didn’t pay the schools. We had to pay…Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had to find money to pay when we came to power……”
“The progressive was never paid since they promised…that is why when they talk about, we are going to give a discount on the fees for universities. The track record is that when you promise you don’t deliver,” he affirmed.
“A president who doesn’t have a vision will not use double-track…,” Dr Adutwum said.
