The Daily Graphic is worried about the fact that in less than 3 years, the.

first batch of free SHS graduates will be ready to enter tertiary institutions and the.

world of work but there is uncertainty about the ability of these institutions to absorb.

them.

It is for this reason that the paper finds the advice by the Asantehene, Otumfuo.

Osei Tutu, to the government to put in place measures to absorb these students, as.

a timely and very important piece of counsel.

The paper believes that the same way the government lived up to its promise to.

introduce the Free SHS programme, it will assist tertiary institutions to procure the necessary materials.

and expand infrastructure to absorb the expected increase in the number of applicants.

It also urges industries and private businesses to join hands with the government and tertiary.

institutions to provide what is needed for the universities to run without a hitch.

The paper believes that educating a nation's citizens is vital to the development of every.

country and efforts should be made to ensure education for all.

The Ghanaian Times believes that the country's entire healthcare system needs a total.

overhaul and reforms to address current and future challenges.

It also believes that there is a need to take pragmatic steps in line with.

the current circumstances with the view of solving and instituting measures that would prevent needless.

deaths.

The Times sees the current "No Bed Syndrome" as an opportunity to adopt a healthcare.

policy that reforms the health sector and provide healthcare for all, regardless of one's standing.

in society.

It therefore prays that government would seize this opportunity to provide adequate resources and equipment.

to the public hospitals to enable them to provide the necessary care for the people.

The Daily Heritage recognises the need for political parties to decentralise political discussions.

and reach out to as many voters as possible but finds it worrying that the.

strategy taken now is the Public Transport approach.

It thinks the last thing the country needs on the road is party activists campaigning.

in public transport since there could be heated arguments on the vehicle that could even.

lead to chaos and fisticuffs.

The paper refers to research which shows that road traffic accidents are usually on the.

rise during election periods due to reckless driving and speeding to meet deadlines.

It therefore suggests that parties when preparing for their internal elections, party functionaries and sympathizers.

refrain from engaging in any debate in public transport to give drivers peace of mind.

to transport passengers safely to their destinations.

The Today News paper calls on the government to resource the Ghana Prisons.

Service to perform its mandate of reforming inmates.

It says if this is done the situation where some prisoners are compelled to live.

under very terrible conditions and come out as hardened criminals will be a thing of.

the past.
