Education Minister; Close All Poorly Performed Schools in Ghana and their teachers..

We are not at normal times at all. Education Minister; Close All Poorly Performed Schools in Ghana and their teachers services will automatically end. This goes to Teachers under Ministry of Education thus, Ghana Education Service (GES) and Technical Vocational Education and Training Service (TVET).

A yearly programme hosted at Kumasi served as the pivoting point for discussing the state of the nation’s education. All the various heads of Senior High Schools and the principals of the Technical Vocational Education and Training including other stakeholders were present.

According to the Education Minister the manner in which under performance of students in the current generation is skyrocketing calls for attention. To him schools that record pass rate from zero percent to ten percent must be scrubbed off. He said the staff are just jeopardizing the the bright future of these innocent students. The assurance is that from hence onwards schools that will consistently record low rate pass for three consecutive times needs not to exist.

The school will be closed down while the students reposted to the various serious schools. In his statement he emphasized that, most teachers do not take their work seriously hence deliver woefully. They will persistently neglect their mandates and at long round this students become liabilities to their families and the Nation as large.

He stretched on the fact that government is spending much more than enough in paying salaries of teachers hence there must be value for money. The ideology is that if your school is closed out of non performance it means your services have ended, this is because you are not capacitated and has nothing to offer.

He believes that it even becomes deadly if you are reposted to another school. You are surely going to replicate such barbaric conduct. He advised heads to work hard and report masters who serve as obstacle towards the attainment of their educational goals. He added that the year ones should be handle with care.

Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum was seriously giving it to Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) and Principals of Technical and Vocational Education and Training to keep up and doing before the torture resurrection. This means heads are coming to bunter with their staff per what transpired. Lets see how it goes.

Last but not lest he warned heads Not to ask a student to go home or refuse to offer admission to students on the basics that they did not buy all the items in the prospectus. If one does that then he is doing that in his own risk. Besides, he made mention of schools inflating the prospectus while others demand money from the students. He categorically stated that, under no circumstance should a school take money from the students because the system is free for all.
