THE National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Ludwig Hlodze, has called on the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) to avoid “chastising the government” for lapses in the education sector, particularly the senior high school (SHS) system.
He noted that the NDC government would not allow the future of the youth in the country to be ruined by the implementation of bad policies since the government was committed to promoting quality education in the country.
Mr Hlodze made the call in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Tamale during his three-day working visit to the Northern Region.
As part of his visit, the Youth Organiser held a meeting with various youth groups in the area and held discussions with Regional and Constituency executives of the party.
He also addressed a youth forum organised by the Tertiary Education Institution Network (TEIN) of the NDC at the Tamale Polytechnic campus.
“As far as the government is concerned, the President is doing his best to address the distortion in the senior high school system”, he stressed.
Mr Hlodze entreated CHASS to evolve effective strategies that would help address the lapses in the education system rather than blaming the government for the problems in the sector.
He commended former President Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings for his enormous contribution to the establishment of the University for Development Studies (UDS) which has campuses in the three Northern Regions.
He further commended President John Evans Atta Mills for facilitating the establishment of two new universities in the Volta and Brong Ahafo regions.
Mr Hlodze advised the youth in the region to refrain from lawless acts in order to promote peace which is a prerequisite for the accelerated development of the area.
He further entreated them to unite and exercise restraint in making their legitimate demands since the government would not relent in its efforts to make them realise their full potential.
According to him, it was important for the youth to work together as a team to help make the “Better Ghana Agenda” successful.
Mr Hlodze indicated that government was working hard to put in place the required structures that would enable the youth to realise their potential and contribute meaningfully to the country’s development agenda.
