UTAG members request details and clarifications from NDC on their education policies

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has initiated dialogues with political parties to examine their manifestoes and policy positions on critical national issues, with a focus on education, the economy, and environmental sustainability, particularly illegal mining.

The first of these engagements was held with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), UTAG said.

During the engagement with NDC, UTAG sought commitments to the party's manifesto promises and demanded accountability on specific pledges. "Various aspects of the NDC's positions on education, the economy, and the environment were thoroughly discussed, with members requesting further details and clarifications. "UTAG remains dedicated to ensuring that political parties prioritise education, economic development, and environmental preservation in their policy agendas.

The Association plans to engage other political parties before the upcoming elections in December," a communique issued after the fourth quarter meeting for 2024 at the Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS) said.
