The National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate for the 2020 general election has responded claims the party cannot boast of any social intervention programmes in the country.
Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang says Ghanaians should disregard claims by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the party introduced numerous intervention programmes in the country.
Speaking in an interview on Accra FM on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, the former Vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Coast mention some of the social intervention programmes the NDC introduced.
“As a party, we reduced the textbook ratio at the primary schools and doubled the number of textbooks to a child at the basic school level,” she said.
She added that,”progressively free education was a social intervention if they care to know” referring to the NPP.
According to her, the NPP and Dr. Bawumia do not know what social intervention is. She said, “the NDC transformed polytechnics in technical universities to develop lower and middle level skills and to offer technical support to add value.”
“As a party, we developed the Technical and Vocational Education(TVET) concept which the NPP has taken to town.” She said.
She said, these were the list of social intervention programmes the NDC introduced.
Adding that, the transformation of teacher training colleges into colleges of education was to add value to teaching.
This response comes on the back of calls for the National Democratic Congress to name some of the social intervention they have introduced since the introduction of the 4 republic.
The New Patriotic Party can boast of National Health Insurance, Metro Mass, Free SHS among others as social intervention programmes introduced.
