All is set for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to launch its political training institute on Thursday, August 10, 2017 to help its members understand the ideals of social democracy.

According to the Director of Research, Dr. William Ahadzie, the institute will help members of the party to understand the principles of NDC.

According to reports, the main focus is to ensure that party faithfuls understand the principles and ideologies of the party.

Programmes at the institute will include the philosophy of the party, history of the party, history of Ghana, constitutional studies, party management, political communication, leadership skills, elections and electoral systems.

He said "We are not looking at NDC people only but people who share our ideals from other countries in the sub-region."

Dr. Ahadzie who doubles as Rector of the school said, the school for a start will focus more on short courses, workshops and conferences for party members.

He said the party has already begun the process of having the school registered with the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE).

He added that the occasion will be used to inaugurate the institute’s Programmes Committee, Academic Affairs Committee, Administration Committee, Finance Committee, and Estate Committee.
