The 2024 flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama has given the surest indication that his government will prioritize investment in educational infrastructure, especially accommodation for teachers in under-served communities if re-elected. Outdooring the party's youth manifesto in Accra on Monday August 12, 2024, the former president bemoaned the wide teacher deficit in the country, promising to address the situation through committed and prudent intervention. Education in Ghana is fraught with several setbacks
Government's investment in the education sector over the years has been criticized by stakeholders as they hold the view that investment in the sector does not reflect in the generality of improvement in educational infrastructure in the country. The situation is evident in schools in rural communities. Not all teachers are willing to accept postings to these areas to render tuition services due to the absence of accommodation there.
