The free SHS itself needs overhauling.The schools should be turned into community day schools. Students should be made to attend schools in their communities . The huge amount of monies being spent on this free SHS can be used profitably by providing good roads and water in our communities throughout the country. No water hydrants. etc. Moatena mfuturo mu saa. WOKC NEW SITE AHODOC A MONKYEMONKA NKOAA.SAA NA MOPE. Bad leaders without foresight.

Tell the senseless president imbecile John Dramani Mahama give me.Industries that should produce jobs are abandoned by senseless presidents beginning from our evil president Jerry John Rawlings who deliberately set up a committee called divesture implementation committee to find fault in all our industries and businesses for him to sell and the fools did as he commanded them and all the fools presidents followed him selling industries and businesses they can lay their hands on and instead of using our oil money to promote research and development and technology and irrigation and agriculture he is rather using the entire money to promote free universities which is wrong.free universities education is good but graduating without jobs is useless as senseless president who chooses sanitary pads over industrialization.

I support education so that everyone will benefit. The current governance structure , if you are not political you don't receive anything from the government. The government can implement effective policies for people to create jobs , over the past 20+ years with all the government policy to create jobs , which support went to political cronies , most did not pay back the loan . Education is the best way to use oil money, if government policies are good , it will create favorable environment to get loans fro job. As an adult now, it was only kuffours i saw banks chasing people to come for loans.

This is a stupid idea. Ghana has gone nut. How do you give free tertiary education? It doesn't happen anywhere in the world, not even the almighty United States. The roads in and around our cities and communities needs fixing. There are no pipe borne water and water hydrants in our communities and they are talking about free tertiary education. They should go for student loans as done in every serious country in the world. Ghana has really gone to the dogs.

Your parents are not collecting LEAP but government will still pay your child's L100 fees. This is a populrist crazy idea. All the roads in Accra are full of potholes, go to circle early in the morning and see the number of destitute sleeping there. This one is below the belt. Let then access student loans.

I fully agree with CenPOA's proposal. Not even in the rich advanced industrialized countries is tertiary education free. I hope the Government will listen to the proposal from CenPOA and use the oil resources for industrialization and job creation instead of fulfilling a political promise aimed at gaining votes.

The sad thing is that the proposal is coming from a man which some people are proposing should be the next Presidential candidate after John Mahama. How can we develop with this kind of people as our leader? The underdevelopment that we see across Africa is basically a leadership problem. We don't have good thinking leaders.

CenPOA,the previous NPP government was promoting TVET and STEM education which are the way to go in this age but it is lost on this new government why because they were being promoted by their predecessors, meanwhile they are clueless and came to power with no policies or programs,so what did majority of voters vote for? We certainly have a long way to go when voters cannot see through propaganda by empty politicians.That NPP brought free SHS so they must also bring free university education,where in the world is that happening? They should turn their attention to reduction of boarding schools and promotion of community day schools,promotion of TVET and STEM.

Job creation is not part of this gov't agenda, never, cos those employed have been sacked with flimsy excuses. Spending money on free sanitary pads instead of making sure that sanitary pads production increases. By so doing jobs are created but no and what baffled me is that, in opposition JDM criticised free SHS and said he would rather use the money on infrastructures than on free SHS. Now in gov't, he has dissolved 1D1F meaning it doesn't form part of his agenda and rather extending free SHS to private SHS. Trust politicians at your own peril. Huh.

THE OIL AND THE GAS COME FROM THE WEST

As the Best Comes From The West
The best must be used to revive the local state enterprises that collapsed in the PNDC era:
(after all NDC is the baby of PNDC)
Tarkwa Gold Refinery
Aboso Glass Factory
Esiama Coconut Oil
Manso Amenfi Bamboo Factory
Sekondi/ Shama Fishing Port
It is necessary to revamp and expand:
Takoradi Flour Mills
Takoradi Chocolate Factory
Takoradi Cement Works
Takoradi Market Circle
Jobs creation must start in the Western Region which is source of the Oil and Gas which CenPOA is focusing on.

We have to be very careful about the Fee Free University program. I would rather recommend building of facilities or Projects for jobs. My recommendation would be massive Mechanised AGRICULTURAL projects all over the country. I know of Two students who graduated from University of Education Winneba : one got Second Class upper the other got first Class and were posted as Teaching Assistants in the same University for their NATIONAL Service. THREE years on Both of them are still waiting for their posts . WHAT Next after free University program????
