President John Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to inclusive education, stressing that no Ghanaian should be denied access to learning or opportunity because of disability.
Speaking at the launch of the Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities initiative, the President emphasised the urgent need to break down social and economic barriers that continue to limit the potential of persons with disabilities across the country.
He described the exclusion of individuals from education and employment due to disability as not only a personal tragedy but also a national loss.
“Too many still face barriers of poverty, of stigma, of lack of access to education and livelihood opportunity. These are not just individual challenges, they represent a national loss,” President Mahama said.
He emphasised that inclusion was essential to Ghana’s social and economic progress, noting that empowering persons with disabilities would unlock untapped potential and drive national development.
“When we exclude, we waste talent, but when we include and empower, we multiply national progress. Our collective task, therefore, is to ensure that no Ghanaian is denied the chance to learn, to work, and to serve because of disability,” he stated.
