Feature: Hon Alhaji Mustapha Abdul-Hamid admits some NPP promises in 2016 were outrageous.
Monitoring his one on one interview on Pan African Television with Kwesi Pratt, he made certain comments that sound completely disrespectful to people living in villages, he confirmed the NPP thought Ghanaians were not analytical to their policies promised in 2016.
On free Senior High school policy, he said the double-track system was the best practice that increased contact hours between students and teachers and called for a defense from the Hon deputy education Minister, maybe he is the free education tycoon.
Unfortunately on his part he has forgotten that before double-track, the senior high schools ran a three-term system with each term lasting for at least three months, making students be in school for at least nine months out of 12, hence they have at least 75% of the months in the year in school.
However with free education and doubke-tracking, the schools practice the semester system where the highest number of days for each track is 81 which is 2.7 months, for two times makes 5.4 months making 45% of the 12 months for students to be in school.
Now, the question is how can the double track system increase contact hours than the single track?
The more days student sit in the house compelled parents to hire private teachers or enrol their children in extra classes while they are in their long vacations. It came as a handicap to village students like me whose job is to help parents on the farm during vacations hence can’t get access to a hired teacher or enrol in extra classes.
Let me bring you the alternative from the NDC.
The free SHS will be expanded to private schools in deprived areas and aggressively expand infrastructure in the senior high schools as means of immediately abolishing the double track system in our senior high schools.
Hon Hamid further said the dams constructed in villages in the north are appreciable to the people since to the villagers, any collection of water is a dam but to ‘theoricals like the NDC ‘ as said by Hamid, the dams are not dams .
The question here is what was the promise,?
1 VILLAGE 1 DAM. Not one village one collection of water.
Honestly, the president and his former spokesperson, his current minister for zongo and inner cities and a campaign manager to the NPP including any other person in the NPP are just desperate and hungry to hold on to power..
The date is 7th December, 2020, kindly go out to knockout Nana for he is arrogant and deceitful.
