Deputy Education Minister nso akasa.

Uh, we, we, we don't have too much time, but I'll be remiss because some of my, uh, viewers are asking, of course, how did you expect that he'll be here in the week when you are playing his sound around the place about the independent electoral commissioner that, uh, deputies, the question will not be asked.

Are you in the place of Haruna Iddrisu or Felix, uh, Kwakye Ofosu? Haruna Iddrisu says constitutionally the appointment of the two deputies, particularly Afia Gbeonyo, is constitutionally okay, but the public have a right to ask questions.

Felix says this was intended to tilt the balance within the EC.

My position on this matter has not changed.

And this issue has been trending since yesterday, and I think after President John Dramani Mahama sworn in the newly EC chairpersons, especially with Afi Agbenyor and, you know, social media has not been on break or hasn't been resting because of this appointment.

Afi Agbenyor's EC appointment is constitutionally appropriate, but politically people have the right to remind us, and this is from Haruna Iddrisu.

Tamale South Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has stated that President John Dramani Mahama's appointment of Emilia Afi Agbenyor as one of the two new deputy chairpersons of the Election Commission is constitutionally appropriate, although critics reserve the right to remind the NDC government of its actions in the past against similar appointments.

Mr. Iddrisu made this on an interview, and the swearing in of the 43-year-old Emilia Afi Agbenyor has struck controversies following her affiliation with the incumbent National Democratic Congress.

The young International Development Corporation professional is on record as having served as a spokesperson for the NDC on governance in the 2024 general elections.

Let's get into some headlines.

Mahama approves integrated basic education model, with funding expected in 2027 under GetsFund formula.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu says President John Dramani Mahama has approved plans to introduce an integrated basic education model that will bring kindergarten, primary, and junior high school education together within a single school environment.

So yes, if the-- we don't find any solutions and then, uh, sort out all these issues and the schools don't operate or are not able to operate fully, then yes, the calendar will be disrupted.

Meanwhile, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has directed the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, GTEC, to immediately address some of the union's outstanding demands.

Can be resolved and will be resolved immediately, including the Ministry of Education expediting action through GTEC to request all public universities to extend retirement rule over towards senior members have-- as have been their practice.

That we can do, and that we assure you that we would do.

We stay on education because the sector minister, Haruna Iddrisu, is pushing back against what he describes as exorbitant hostel fees being charged by public universities across the country, throwing the spotlight on the growing cost of securing accommodation on university campuses.

Speaking to the media at the ministry yesterday, he said a committee must be constituted to determine how much universities can increase residential facility fees annually in accordance with the current inflation rate.

I will encourage you, the media, to visit the University of Ghana and other university campuses, and appreciate the deterioration to the hostel facilities across the country, and the inability of government and the universities to provide adequately financially for its restoration.
