The Educate Africa Institute (EAI), an Education Policy think tank says it is evaluating NDC flagbearer, John Mahama’s recent promise to abolish academic fees for first-year university students. The Institute says while this pledge has the potential to increase access to higher education, it raises crucial questions about its feasibility, sustainability, and broader impact on Ghana’s education and employment landscape.

In an exclusive interview with Happy Kaseɛbɔ, the Executive Director of EAI, William Boadi highlighted that Implementing such a policy requires securing sufficient funding, expanding university infrastructure, and ensuring long-term sustainability without compromising the national budget or essential services.

“Addressing the pressing need for educational access is vital, but it must be balanced with maintaining educational quality and support systems for students beyond their first year”.

William Boadi lamented that removing financial barriers can boost educational attainment, but it’s essential to maintain high educational standards, provide scholarships or financial aid for continuing students, and update curricula to include practical and industry-relevant skills. Effective solutions also involve fostering partnerships with businesses for internships, enhancing faculty training, and addressing graduate unemployment by stimulating job creation and aligning educational outcomes with labor market needs.

Additionally, Mr Boadi made it known that improving conditions for university teachers, resolving past pay issues, and ensuring fair treatment for affected teachers are critical. He urged promises must be grounded in realistic and sustainable solutions that address Ghana’s pressing needs, enhance the quality and applicability of education, and improve employment prospects for graduates.

“By focusing on these critical areas, we can work towards a future where Ghana’s educational and employment systems are robust and effective”.
