Deputy Minister-designate for Education, John Ntim Fordjour, has said 29 E-Blocks Senior High Schools constructed under former president John Dramani Mahama have been completed by the ruling New Patriotic Party.
Second-term Member of Parliament for Assin South with academic background in Mineral Engineering, Economic Policy Management and Foreign Policy John Ntim Fordjour appeared next before the Appointment Committee for evaluation and suitability for the Education Ministry.
According to him, the Government over the past five years has made major investments in education without compromising the quality and stressed that annual reports from the education sector show that quality has not been compromised.
He informed the Committee that Government will has complete abandoned school projects started by previous governments and hinted President Akufo-Addo has completed 29 of the E Block projects while the VALCO Trust intervention, among others, was geared towards eradicating schools under trees.
Asked if the free SHS policy could have been implemented differently with regards to infrastructure and funds in some constituencies where there are no classrooms, the nominee replied the Constitution doesn’t permit discrimination against individuals who seek to access education.
On the issue of the school feeding programme, he said the National Food Buffer Stock has been engaged to address challenges about the supply of food to Senior High Schools in the country in order to continue the supply of food to them and that the necessary stakeholders would be engaged as promised by the Ministry and also ensure the completion of abandoned projects under the GET Fund Projects.
The nominee admitted to sacrificing about 400,000 students because of infrastructure which according to him was not the best alternative, hence the reason to introduce the track system while assuring that the issue of infrastructure was being expeditiously addressed.
Rev. John Ntim Fordjour is a minister of the gospel, he holds a Master of Arts Degree (MA) in Economic Policy Management from the University of Ghana, Legon and Postgraduate Certificate in Governance and Anti-Corruption Methods from Georgetown University, Washington D.C. and is at the concluding stage (5th Year) of his PhD in Political Science.
