According to them, the NPP has not only outlined policies and programmes that would help shape training of teachers in the country, it demonstrated that under the John Agyekum-Kufuor-led government. They argued the NPP “has preached qualitative educational policies” as well as programmes that would ensure teacher retention and commitment to duty hence urged all trainee students across the country to vote the NPP into power. “ We the students of PCE are overly confident in the manifesto of the NPP, we believe Ghanaian students won’t be disappointed, and certainly an Akufo-Addo administration will honour the details of this manifesto,” he added. They expressed their disappointment over government’s decision to restore only the allowances for trainee nurses leaving trainee teachers across the country to their fate.
