In a message to mark International Youth Day (IYD) today, Monday, 12 August 2019, Mr Mahama, in a Facebook post, said: Today, as we celebrate #InternationalYouthDay on ‘Transforming education’, we are reminded of Goal 4 of the #SDGs on ensuring inclusive & quality education for all & the promotion of lifelong learning.

“I celebrate all young Ghanaians on this day. I will continue to admire your dynamism and innovativeness as we work collectively to transform our country and secure a nation of real opportunities for all young people.”
