A new government formed by the National Democratic Congress would put in place measures to expand intake into tertiary institutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This, according to the party\u2019s General Secretary will make room for the increased number of graduates from Senior High School.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent study found that the total number of students in Senior High could hit one million in the coming academic year.<\/p>\n

The number stood at a little above 430, 000 before the Free SHS was introduced by the Akufo-Addo administration in 2017, the study said.<\/p>\n

Asiedu Nketiah said to accommodate the increasing numbers into the tertiary institutions, there must be an expansion in infrastructure.<\/p>\n
