The tweet post referring to a publication made by Citifmonline.com about UNESCO applauding former President Mahama has been shared on the official NDC social media platforms to remind voters on December 7 that, the Free SHS which the NPP has used as their major achievement was actually started by Mahama in September, 2015.
The tweet reads, “A reminder that John Mahama earned UNESCO accolade for starting Free SHS in September, 2015 . Next NDC government will improve quality, expand access and eliminate double track in secondary education by completing the remainder of abandoned E-Blocks and building more schools.”
Ghana is walking to the polls on December 7 2020, to elect the next government to rule the country in the next coming 4 years.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has leaned on Free SHS as their major achievement in the last 4 years of being in office, and so, has used it as their pivotal campaign message for December 7 elections.
The NPP is asking Ghanaias to vote them to retain power to continue the Free SHS, otherwise, NDC will cancel the program when they come into power.
This has brought the NDC fishing out records to prove that, they will not cancel something they started, but rather, they will improve it.
A reminder that John Mahama earned UNESCO accolade for starting Free SHS in September, 2015 .
