President Mahama while address students of the University of Cape Coast on Wednesday as part of his five-day tour of the Central region announced plans by his government to make tertiary education free. “Free tertiary education is not practicable; if I were the president I would not have repeated these unrealistic promises” he stressed. “Even the advanced countries like the United States of America, Canada and Britain have not made tertiary education free how much more Ghana, so I think this is just a campaign talk,” he added. Also, Former Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) Michael Nsowah advised parents not to rely on the free tertiary education promise but rather look for their own resources to educate their wards.
