President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that adding value to raw materials is a key to transform the economy.
According to him, his government aims to transfer the local economy from raw material production to value addition in the country.
“My administration is implementing the free senior high school program to expand access,’’ said President Akufo-Addo.
To him, there is the need to ensure that the population is well educated.
During the Global Education Summit in London on Friday, July 30, President Akufo-Addo affirmed that Ghana is moving away from just being producers of natural resources to a value-added economy.
“I intend to increase the budget for the educational sector in Ghana,’’ President Akufo-Addo said.
“What is our goal? I think it is the goal of all of us as a continent, the transformation of our economies from a raw material producing economy to a value-added economy.
