Professor Kingsley Nyarko, the Deputy Minister for Education in charge of technical, vocational education and training (TVET), has appealed to tertiary students to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2024 general elections.

According to him, the NPP had better policies and measures to support the education sector, which would benefit tertiary students across the country.

Prof. Nyarko, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso, made the appeal during the matriculation ceremony of the Kwadaso Agricultural College, where 410 students were inducted into various Diploma and Higher National Diploma programs.

The MP highlighted the Party’s plan to provide easy access to student loans, which according to him, would be available to all tertiary students regardless of their institution or course.

“The NPP has a track record of implementing policies that support education, including fee-free education at the Secondary level, restored allowances for teacher and nursing trainees, and the abolition of utility bills for students in the tertiary institutions,” he noted.

By voting number one, Prof. Nyarko believes that tertiary students can secure a brighter future for themselves and contribute to Ghana’s development.
