Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dr. Yaw Osei-Adutwum, the minister of education, has stated that he sees a time when parents will clamour to enrol their kids in basic public schools because he is making things right.
He made this statement at a ceremony held at the University of Professional Studies in Accra.
Dr. Adutwum stressed his commitment to enhancing basic education in response to those who accuse him of ignoring them.
“So they will say, we will give you credit, you have done well with Senior High School, but you have abandoned basic schools, children are sitting under trees and you are talking about drones.
“To them, I have a response, I look forward to a day when parents will line up in front of the school and beg to enroll their children, that is the day and it will soon come and it has begun under Nana Akufo Addo,” he added.
He presented a new batch of elementary school clothes. The program seeks to improve public schools’ reputation.
Dr. Adutwum stressed the importance of this change, saying, “You see, you don’t see brown and yellow, we are rebranding public schools. No brown and yellow, blue and white, and we are changing the uniforms too. This is President Akufo-Addo and Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia’s Ghana.
“We have begun the transformation. There’s no reason why we should not. Ghana deserves better, and we’re going to give them better, something that we can all be proud of.
