He announced the initiative as part of his free tertiary education for Level 100 students policy. While all students will access the first year of university education for free, those with disabilities will enjoy the policy for the entire four years.
Mahama said: “I want to reiterate our commitment to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have access to free tertiary education and equal opportunities to pursue their academic and professional ambitions,”
The President also announced that contrary to the claims of the minority, who since 2016 have painted him as an enemy to the Free SHS program, he has no plans to cancel the policy. Mahama said he would rather strengthen it with better implementation plans. He said he will abolish the double track system and go back to a single track system. In furtherance of that goal, the President said construction of new school buildings will be accelerated.
