A lecturer and a one-time holder of the Most Outstanding College Teacher Award, Dr. Simon Boateng has described as false, assertions that teacher and nursing training colleges were ordered to restrict admissions to a quota after President Akufo-Addo's administration restored allowances for teacher and nursing trainees. The former President John Mahama who has copiously made the claim has indicated as part of his manifesto promises, to scrap the quota system and allow the institutions to admit at their maximum capacities. Speaking to host Julius Caesar Anadem on the Ultimate Breakfast Show, Dr. Boateng who also served as Quality Assurance Officer with additional responsibilities for admissions at the St Monica's College of Education clarified that admissions had rather increased over the period of the resumption of allowances.
