The next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will restore the quality of education in the country, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has said.

According to the running mate of the NDC's flagbearer, the fast deteriorating state of the educational sector, under the present government, threatens the future of the country.

“We will prioritise improving the quality of education, especially at the secondary level, across the country,” she said.

She gave the assurance while responding to concerns by traditional leaders about the poor state of educational infrastructure during a courtesy call on Naa Alhassan Andani, Paramount Chief of the Tampion Traditional Area in the Northern Region.

The former Education Minister, who was on a campaign tour of the region, noted that the integrity of a nation’s education system is based on its quality, which should not be compromised for any reason.

"The next NDC administration under President John DramaniMahama will continue with its monumental infrastructure projects that will ensure increased access to quality education while introducing more interventions for the benefit of teachers.

“Any country that is interested in the future will pay attention to the development of her children," she  noted, adding “The NDC will put things right in the sector and restore discipline in our schools.”

Madam Opoku-Agyemang also paid courtesy calls on the Overlord of Dagbon,Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II, the Chief of Chereponi, Naa Feme Malba Nanyame Kofi, the Chief of Mion, Mion-Lana Abdulai Mahamadu, as well as Chiefs of Wulensi, Kpandai and Sang.

She assured the traditional leaders of more educational sector projects under the NDC and urged them to return the party to power to continue its good works in the region, most of which have been abandoned by the present government.

In similar engagements with the Chiefs of Zoggu, Nyong, Tong, Karaga, and Gushegu, the traditional leaders expressed their desire for the NDC to win the upcoming general elections and carry on its track record of inclusive infrastructure development.
