Mahama Prioritises Inclusive Education to Empower Ghanaians – Dr Clement Apaak

The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Apaak, has reaffirmed President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to fostering inclusive education that empowers Ghanaians to succeed in a knowledge-based economy.

He emphasised that key initiatives, such as the government’s Free Senior High School policy and the No Fee Stress initiative, are central to realising this vision.

Dr Clement Apaak made these comments while addressing the Relief and Aid International Educational Scholarship recipients on Sunday, May 11, 2025.

“Through your scholarship programs, you are not just removing financial barriers; you are also igniting hope, unlocking potential, and fostering service-oriented leadership in the next generation. This perfectly aligns with the government of Ghana’s educational agenda to provide inclusive, equitable, and relevant education that empowers every Ghanaian to thrive in a knowledge-based economy,” he said.

“We are building a system that leaves no learner behind,” Dr. Apaak added.

The Founder and President of Relief and Aid International, Peggy Adamafio, encouraged the beneficiaries to demonstrate their worthiness for the awards and contribute to a better society.

“Carry this torch with humility, and always remember the hands that lifted you in your time of need. One day, it will be your turn to extend your hand to someone else,” she remarked.
