We have to create one Ghana not two Ghana —— education minister bemoaned
The Education minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has revealed that Government plans to change the face of public education with the creation of a new education system with ultramodern classrooms. The minister of education made this statement during the National Education Week Summit held in Accra.
He announced that Government has received funding to replace dilapidated schools and is on course to start.
Dr. Yaw Adutwum advocated for one Ghana where we all can attend a public school no matter the status.
“Yes we would be able to decommission and demolish the ninety year old buildings and move all students there. Into a building that have biology, chemistry and physics labs, computer lab, STEM Lab, Library. Where everything that is in the high school also there. He stated.
This is the new Ghana that we seek to create. So the new education system that will be beneficiary to all
We have forgotten funding to replace a number of dilapidated of our primary and all the way to High School infrastructure.
We want to change the face of public education and get everybody in there. So that the son of the judge and the son of the labourer, we all can meet in one place and foster a good bond of friendship.
So that they can extend a helping hand, and in the near future, the son of the labourer can one day visit the home of his friend whose father is a judge, look at the environment and see beautiful environment and tells his father, one day, he want to build a home like that.
We have to create one Ghana not two Ghana. There shouldn’t be a Ghana for the poor and a Ghana for the rich. There should be one Ghana.”
Dr. Adutwum further explains the difference between distance education and the openly university which he said to be commenced starting next year.
