The NDC parliamentary candidate for Tema Central, Hon. Ebi Bright, engaged teachers across public schools, including the first and second cycle phases. The meeting was to ascertain the problems facing the school and its pupils and help to address them if elected member of parliament on 7th December 2024. She also answered some questions from teachers.
The PC also talked about some of the things the successive members of parliament have done so far. She examined some policies that will not help to work with. Again she talked about teachers’ welfare and their conditions of service.
She said the NDC’s 24-hour economic policy would help create several job opportunities and reduce unemployment.
According to her, the NDC, if elected back into power, will help improve the security situation in Ghana, enabling people to go to work and return home safely even at odd hours without being mugged by robbers, adding that all sectors of the economy will witness a massive turnaround.
Ebi Bright assured that the next NDC government would invest in the infrastructural development of schools.
She promised to help fix the broken relationship between the industrial AREA and the communities and work with the factories in the constituency to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, especially to the education sector.
She also talked about the TVET and mentioned that the Tema Technical Institute is the flagship Technical and Vocational Education, and Training institute in Tema with excellent materials to produce perfect and quality products. Unfortunately, all the second cycle and tertiary schools in Tema direly need staff common rooms and other infrastructure.
“The NDC introduced the GETFUND, which was meant for the educational sector, but the current government has used it for collateral. The NDC built Community Day Schools, but some have been waiting for operationalization. This NPP government abandoned the E-Blocks because they vowed not to use them to benefit the people. This implies that the elephant government has wasted the taxpayers’ resources”, Ebi Bright averred.
Mr. Kennedy Hedoe, Greater Accra regional deputy treasurer of the NDC, also added his voice by singing the parliamentary candidate’s praises, urging the constituents to commend her for starting various initiatives to alleviate poverty, foster unity, boost the physical and academic development of the area.
He advised Tema Central constituents to elect Hon. Ebi Bright as a member of parliament on December 7, 2024, so she could move the constituency forward.
