Wife of standard bearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP,) Mrs. Yvonne Nduom, has urged all parents to endeavour to educate their children.

According to Mrs. Nduom, education is the safest way that a parent can secure his or her pension and future.

She was speaking at the rally held by party’s parliamentary candidate for Komenda Edina Eguafo Abbirem (KEEA) constituency in Agona in the Central region.

 “As I stand here, I am my mother’s pension. I take care of her because she educated me to be able find a good job and open businesses with my husband…Don’t neglect your child’s education for anything because when you are old, you will surely benefit from their success in life,” she revealed.

Mrs. Nduom believes people may have neglected the need to put wards through school and monitor their growth because they [parents] did not have any form of education hence did not understand the benefits.

She added that some had the desire but are financially unstable to afford fees.

Against this background, she said that the PPP knows these challenges and that is why it wants to ensure the enforcement of the Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) provision in Ghana’s constitution to enable Ghanaian children go to school from the crèche to Senior High School (SHS).

Mrs. Nduom explained that her party will enforce school going through a taskforce known as ‘Education Guards.’

She said these ‘Education Guards’ will ensure that no child of school going age stays at home or loiters about.
