President Mahama slammed former President Akufo-Addo because students never received textbooks after he changed school lessons years back. Mahama spoke to people at Tamale Jubilee Park on March 22 during his travels to thank voters. He shared that his team set aside GHC564.6 million for new books that help kids learn better in basic schools.
According to Mahama, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu watches over this project. The president mentioned that Ghanaian companies will print these books, which keeps money inside the country. Mahama reminded everyone how the last government changed what students learn but never gave them books to study from.
Mahama promised that this book shortage would end this year. When talking about the minister handling this task, he called Haruna Iddrisu "your son." The president also talked about improving school meals by putting more cash into the feeding program.
The government created another plan using saved money to give free period products to girl students. This helps female students stay in school without missing classes. Mahama clearly stated these resources exist specifically for sanitary pads that female students need.
