A wake up call arises for ministry of Education in building a better educational system
Ministry of Education research conducted proves that majority of pupils in primary 2 ain’t able to read
The sector minister for education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum registers his concerns about the primitive ways of our educational system which always focused on apprenticeship-produced leadership.
Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum made his thoughts known at the ministry of Education’s launch of the National Education Leadership Institute in Takoradi. He shared a fact finding undertaken by the National standardized Test Conducted in 2022 with respect to the reading abilities of primary 2 pupils.
“The test result which is out has revealed that, 38% of the students can read, but I’m not happy about it. It also said 62% can’t read and we can’t be happy about that”, He stated.
Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum further raised a courtesy call on all stake holders to aid in grooming students who are interested in accepting responsibility inorder to secure posterity.
“We have to begin to raise a new generation of education leaders who will be interested in learning outcomes who will lead the charge to ensure that Ghana’s will change.
“We cannot depend on the apprenticeship leadership any longer…. we have to fast-track the Wesley girls’experience so we can get more effective school leadership and this is where the National Education Leadership Institute comes in.
“The apprenticeship would be there but people will also have to study and understand what makes schools work in Ghana,” Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum iterated.
