General News of Wednesday, 3 October 2018Source: Graphic.com.gh'Don't draw me into your education campaign' – Prof Yankah to MahamaProf. Kwesi Yankah is Minister of State in charge of Tertiary EducationThe Minister of State in charge of Tertiary Education, Professor Kwesi Yankah, has advised former President John Mahama to desist from drawing him into his campaign on education. According to him, any process to reform the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagship education programme, the free Senior High School (SHS) policy would compromise the gains made so far. His comment comes on the back of statements made by Mr Mahama at a rally in Cape Coast that he would review the policy should he be elected president in 2020. According to the statement, Mr Mahama noted that when elected president in 2020, he would hold a national stakeholders conference where he would panel educationists such as Prof Yankah to deliberate on the policy. “In the very unlikely event of the NDC coming into office in January 2021, Prof Yankah would therefore not be interested in being part of any process that seeks to compromise the gains achieved by the free SHS policy,” it added.
