In a brief address, the President indicated that the government views equitable expansion of access to education as important because second cycle education is a critical bridge that connects basic education to tertiary education and the world.

He said without good education, the country cannot improve on its human resource base. President Mahama said his government will fulfill its promise to the nation by expanding and upgrading senior high school education which he made in his 2012.

He pledged his commitment that every eligible Ghanaian would not be denied the opportunity to access education due to their geographical location.

He noted that the expansion of educational facilities would be meaningless unless there was a collective effort and all stakeholders act as agents of change.
