The NDC ProForum North America, represented by dedicated professionals and experts in the diaspora, has outlined a strategic framework to support the government's agenda in addressing the challenges of the Free Senior High School (SHS) system.
Consequently, the forum has recommended a 0.5 per cent levy on diaspora remittances to create a dedicated Senior High School (SHS) Trust Fund.
The diaspora community underlined what it described as "A comprehensive Framework to Enhance Ghana's Education System" for both short, medium and long-term measures to reform the education sector to respond to the dynamic needs of society, in statement signed by Arnold Appiah, NDC Professional Forum, USA, copied the Ghanaian Times. "As a committed partner to national development, the diaspora community is ready to contribute expertise, resources, and policy-driven solutions to ensure Free SHS is sustainable, equitable, and of high quality.
Recognising the critical role of education in Ghana's socio-economic transformation, the ProForum is proposing a set of sustainable financing mechanisms, infrastructure development strategies, teacher welfare reforms, and curriculum modernisation initiatives to enhance the current NDC government's efforts in building a robust and globally competitive education system," the NDC ProForum North America explained.
