Your Excellency Mr John Dramani Mahama, I wish to come out with my suggestions below here to support your government to continue the Free Education in Ghana.
From Primary to JHS, the government can bear the cost for School Fees and Books so that any child born in Ghana here will get the advantage in education and can be able to read and write after J.HS, the feeding must be exempted completely whether Day or Boarding because it is the responsibility of the parents to feed their child born on this earth.
Moreover, concerning the SHS the government should give free education to those who will get from aggregate one to 12, and their benefit must be on only School Fees and Books. The feeding must be the responsibility of their parents whether Day or Boarding. Therefore, the money which Government was using for Feeding in Primary, JHS and SHS that can be used as Loans to all interested women in the country just as President Kufuor’s time, because the more the money circulates in the system, the more the Economy becomes better in the country.
Base on this categorical arrangements, the private SHS and JHS which has been completely collapsed in the country will rise up immediately to improve job vacancies for the youth and particularly those who were doing their own private businesses with such institutions and were blocked by this free education process and can now also achieve their daily bread.
Mr President, at this juncture, concerning the WAEC examination fees which Ex-President Akufo-Addo took upon himself as the government’s responsibility, this must be ignored immediately because such attempt will definitely collapse WAEC.
Moreover, WAEC is an independent body in the country as well as West Africa. Just imagine the recent critical situation that President Akufo-Addo’s government put WAEC into, and it was about to affect the youth in the country who recently wrote the exam. Please has such inability payment of exam fees happened in this country before? Never at all, so the parents should bear the cost as we were paying before, which never brought any grievances in the country. Sir such wasted money should have been used to construct tarred roads in the country to benefit a lot. Please kindly note that it is only 20 per cent of the population in Ghana who have their wards in Primary, JHS and S.H.S, and how can the 80 per cent of the population also enjoy from the government.
In as much as possible, I will also draw your attention to withdraw the E-Levy and re-establish the toll booths in the country to get a sustainable income for the country.
As much as to my suggestion here, these toll booths which were actually helping people selling there to get their daily-bread across the country will be another means of creating jobs for the youth.
Finally, Mr President, I will hereby encourage you to find out any possible means to re-established all the banks that Ex-President Akufo-Addo collapsed in the country to improve more jobs for the youth in your regime, and also to reduce the cost of electricity bills in these newly installed meters. Preferably, the old meters were better than these new ones because the old ones will give you a signal to top up within some few days before it will switch off entirely, so if the type of the old ones can be replaced.
Hoping to hear favourable from you soon.
Faithfully yours
