The Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary Education, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed that government has not budgeted for promises contained in its recently launched manifesto.<\/p>\n

According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will determine the cost for all the promised in the manifesto in the 2017 budget after its re-election on December 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manifesto of the NDC has not yet been costed. The 2017 budget God-willing when we are elected and President Mahama returns for his second and final term, that will be presented to parliament will spell out the details, that is when Ghanaians will know how much this particular manifesto pledge will cost,\u201d Ablakwa said.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News\u2019<\/strong> Caleb Kudah, Mr. Ablakwa denied the NDC promises \u201c1 student, 1 tablet computer\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to him, it was a misrepresentation of what the President actually said at an event to reveal highlights of the NDC manifesto<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ablakwa noted that \u201cWe are not promising one student, one tablet. The President has said the he is introducing e-textbooks, in the same way he want to introduce wifi zones in our secondary and tertiary schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Mahama at the presentation of highlights of the NDC\u2019s manifesto earlier this month revealed that text books for the various core subjects will be converted into softwares which will be put on tablets and distributed to Junior High and Senior High School students.<\/p>\n

He said the initiative will first be piloted and subsequently expanded with the\u00a0aim of\u00a0helping to boost the\u00a0competencies of the all students\u00a0in core subjects.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents will receive tablets that have all their core subjects on the tablet. If the pilot is successful, the programme shall be expanded,\u201d Mahama said.<\/p>\n

NDC manifesto not mere promises \u2013 Mahama<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President John Mahama says the NDC manifesto does not contain mere promises<\/a><\/strong><\/span> meant to entice Ghanaians to vote for the party, but captures the unique plans of the NDC to move Ghana forward if given the mandate to serve for a second term.<\/p>\n
