President Mahama to organise national conferences on constitution and education reform

President John Dramani Mahama has made known his plans to strengthen the legal system and improve the education sector.

Speaking at the 92nd Jalsa Salana of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana in Winneba on Thursday, January 9, he said two major national conferences would be organized to address critical issues in governance and education.

President Mahama also mentioned plans to establish a committee to steer the National Constitutional Review Validation Conference. The conference will be aimed at driving discussions about the constitutional review process, building consensus on proposed amendments, and promoting independence of the judiciary.

Speaking on education, the president also announced a conference dubbed the National Education Review Conference.

“This conference will review our educational system, right from kindergarten through basic, secondary, tertiary, and technical education, to identify what the hindrances to quality education are,” he explained.

The president reaffirmed the commitment of his government to building a robust justice system in Ghana.

“To this end, the new NDC administration is resolutely committed to strengthening our justice system. Justice and peace are the bedrock of our national aspirations,” he emphasised.
