LATEST UPDATE:
President John Mahama is not Happy

A former NDC MP for Adenta, recognized for his strong stance within the NDC, has lashed the Education Minister, Hon. Haruna Idrisu, and the Ministry for their ill-advised decision to abandon the old school placement system in favor of a new one, which has proven ineffective and caused inconvenience to Ghanaian parents. He disclosed that President His Excellency John Mahama is unhappy with the Minister and the Ministry.
