IPP to invest more in the country’s education- Akpaloo

-

The Independent People Party (IPP) says it will spend 30% of the country’s budget on education. This will be one of the highest levels of expenditure on education, as a percentage of national expenditure in the world. According to the party, this will be reflected in our first budget for 2017 if the party is voted into power in the 2016 elections.
Speaking to Ultimate Fm Joseph Oppong Brenya, in an exclusive interview, the leader of IPP said Every country that has succeeded in lifting more people out of poverty has made education its top priority, hence his party’s decision to invest more in education.
 “We must do so too if we want to win the war on poverty and unemployment. In a knowledge economy your opportunities depend on what you have in your head, the human hard-drive that never gets full — the miracle known as our brain.  What you learn and how you apply your knowledge, translates into skills. This plays a large role in determining how far you will get in life” Mr. Akpaloo said.
“Education is probably the single most important tool for turning technology into an engine for opportunities for all. Under IPP government no school would be run under trees. Instead of spending our scarce resources on luxurious cars for government officials we would channel them to build high quality school environment nationwide”.
Speaking on the free education  message been preached by both the Opposition New Patriotic Party and the ruling National Democratic Congress, Mr. Akpaloo said his party does believe in the free Senior High Education. He also painted a bleak picture about the state of the country’s education.

Voices around me conjecture He should be a thief; he could be beaten to death they recount incidents of instant mob justice as we drive on away from the sight Questions run haywire in my mind What if he did it; what if he didn't do it. What might have driven him into this? Is it fair? What could be going on through his mind What could be going on through his heart Naked and broken, his dignity, pride and freedom snatched from him Is his spirit alive, does his soul still live A dead man whose body just has enough strength to lead him to the slaughter. No one to speak for him No one to defend him Where are his parents Who is responsible for him What should instincts be doing in the heart and intestines of a mother whose son's life hangs in the balance The balance to the mercy or cruelty of people...

Message to single men

Dear Single men, Nowadays getting a quality woman to marry is very difficult. Especially ladies who are responsible, not materialistic, and faithful. Noble wife materials are as scarce as rare Gold. Getting a lady who will hold on to you through thick and thin is nearly impossible, a lady who will still find you useful and respect you when you hit financial rock bottom.  Getting a lady worth being called a wife is like going up a smooth mountain with no climbing gear; most ladies nowadays are materialistic, spoilt, wasted and when she comes to your life she brings a lot of past baggage enough to kill you with stress.
