Deputy Chief of Staff, Nana Oye Bampoe Addo has indicated at least 27 percent of appointments made by the John Mahama's administration are women.
To her, this is an indication of the President’s commitment to ensuring the promotion of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act of 2004.
“I am happy to announce that President John Dramani Mahama has achieved 27 percent female representation with the appointments he has made,” she said.
Nana Oye Bampoe Addo added the “implementation of the Affirmative Action Act symbolises President Mahama’s commitment to dismantling barriers that have historically limited women’s participation in public life”.
The Deputy Chief of Staff was speaking at the 78th Speech and Prize Giving Day of Aburi Girls Senior High School under the theme: “Empowering future leaders: cultivating excellence and integrity in a changing world”.
Nana Oye Bampoe Addo further advised the young ladies to work towards achieving the highest feat in life.
“As I look at you, the young ladies seated here today, I see future leaders who have role models to aspire to, women who have paved their way through determination and resilience. The efforts of those who came before you have shown that we can break barriers and achieve greatness,” she said.
To her, the achievement of excellence by students is dependent on the improved educational systems of the country.
She assured of the NDC administration’s willingness to improve the Free Senior High School policy introduced by the previous NPP administration.
“We have all witnessed its poor implementation that has diluted teaching and learning experiences while burdening parents and teachers alike. We can look into the future with a firm commitment from the NDC government to reset Ghana and adopt a more efficient implementation of the free SHS policy through proper stakeholder consultation – engaging head teachers, teachers, parents, across the country,” she added.
