Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Former President John Dramani Mahama has described Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, as being incompetent for the job.
Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum recently announced that the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) and Principals of Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET Institutions should improve their educational outcomes or stand the risk of having their institutions closed down.
Addressing branch executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Sunday, March 19, 2023, at Adudwama in the Ahafo Ano South East Constituency of the Ashanti region, the NDC flagbearer hopeful, however, was not pleased with the minister’s remark and demanded that the minister resigns if he is unable to manage the educational system.
“Last week, the education minister said all underperforming schools will be closed down.
“So, I asked, what type of government is this? If a school is not performing, you need to ask yourself questions, why is it so, maybe there are no teachers, or maybe they don’t have books or facilities that they need to improve the learning outcomes.
“So, you have to look at those things and help them uplift the school. But for you, you’re saying because the school is not performing, you want to close the school and join the children in different schools.
“There is no sense in it. I can’t even think far. The education minister if he can’t take care of the school…he can’t help to improve the school; he should resign for someone to take charge,” he said.
