The Daily Graphic titles it's editorial as "Let`s match quality of education with access".  The Paper says governments worldwide invest a lot of resources in education because it is the bedrock of development of any nation. Without education the Graphic notes, no nation will have a future, since its human resource will be ill prepared to keep the various sectors of the economy grinding. The paper therefore lauds government for its investment in education. It however believes that while attempts are made at making education accessible, policies are also needed to ensure that quality education is not sacrificed on the altar of access. 

The Ghanaian Times commends all stakeholders including private transport owners for the implementation of the Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, which has begun on a pilot phase in the Greater Accra Region. It says the BRT which is part of a strategy to solve the mobility problems of urban areas of the country is worth gratifying, as a group of transport owners who initially expressed concern over the implementation of the BRT, have understood the essence of the BRT and are prepared to go along with it. The Times calls on all to support the new public transport arrangement and hopes that it would completely change transportation in Ghana. 

The New Independent comments on the KMA Presiding Member election. It believes the issue is a reflection of partisan society. The paper says Ghana is beginning to reap what it has been sowing over the years during national discourses on issues pertinent to the development of the country. It bemoans the polarised nature of the society where almost everything is looked at through political lenses with the main focus on NDC and NPP. The inability of the KMA to successfully elect a Presiding Member after five elections is a clear example. The paper therefore suggests that Ghanaians respect each other’s views, evaluate them and stop the usual political tagging.
