Ghana’s opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has promised free education for persons with disabilities if the party wins the 2020 elections.

NDC also says it will maintain the payment of allowances to teacher-trainees and abolish the teacher licensure exams.

“Maintain the status quo with regards to the payment of allowances for teacher and nursing trainees. Abolish the mandatory national service and teacher licensure examinations, restore employment of newly trained teachers, provide free education for persons with disabilities,” the party promised in its 2020 manifesto.

“Quickly reform and expand access to professional legal education and provide opportunities to all qualified LLB holders by granting accreditation to certified law faculties to undertake the professional law qualification course.” according to the NDC manifesto.

“Review the Legal Profession Act in consultation with stakeholders and establish a Council for legal education and training to accredit certified law faculties to run the Professional Law Course subject to the Council’s oversight supervision. Establish a faculty of law in the Northern Region to serve the northern sector”.
