Three top issues; education, health and employment, will determine the outcome of this year's elections, a new research report by the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) has revealed.
It found that while these matters have remained topmost concern to Ghanaians, influencing voting pattern in the last two general election measures outlined by candidates to address prevailing bottlenecks in these sectors was likely to be the deciding factor on which party forms the next government.
Launched in Accra yesterday, the "Matters of Concern to the Ghanaian Voter" report, is the result of data collected in August this year, capturing 9,324 respondents across all 16 regions of the country.
Dr Henrietta Asante-Sarpong, the Director of Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the Commission, stressed that addressing challenges associated with the free Senior High School policy, expanding educational infrastructure and resourcing educational institution to aid teaching and learning formed some specific demands by citizens for redress by the next government in the education sector.
