His final campaign stops around the nation include his return to the Ashanti Region. In order to ensure a strong showing in the elections, the NPP is trying to strengthen its base.

Bawumia highlighted the government’s dedication to education while he was in the area, especially with regard to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) instruction at the elementary school level. He emphasised the value of integrating STEM into elementary and junior high education during the opening of the Otuo Siriboe Model STEM Junior High School.

Bawumia declared, “We want to introduce STEM in basic schools.” For this reason, we are making sure that STEM schools are set up all around the nation, beginning with STEM schools that serve as models. One example of this is the Otuo Siriboe STEM Junior High School.
According to myjoyonline, the Vice President praised the school’s state-of-the-art facilities, pointing out that they might pass for a university. “This building gives the impression that it is a university,” he said. “However, it is actually a STEM junior high school, complete with science labs and all the resources needed to support STEM education.”
Additionally, Bawumia emphasised that the objective is to give pupils the tools they need to succeed in college and beyond. “After completing their studies here, they will move on to secondary school, and by the time they reach university, they will already be academically prepared,” he stated.
Bawumia restated the goal of his party, saying, “We do not want to go backwards. Rather, we are embracing the fourth industrial revolution wholeheartedly.
