Avoid Substance Abuse – VR GES Director to Students

 

The Volta Regional Director of Education, Mr. Francis Yao Agbemadi, has cautioned young people to stop abusing substances but learn diligently towards a bright future.

“Once you get addicted and drift off-course, there is no guarantee you will easily get back on track,” he said.

Mr. Agbemadi was speaking at this year’s Speech and Prize-Giving Day of Tanyigbe Senior High School (SHS) in the Ho Municipality.

The event was on the theme: Discipline – The Key To Achieving Academic Excellence.

The Regional Director of Education touched on the theme and said, “it spoke directly to what made education transformation and sustainable.”

“In an era marked by rising instances of substance abuse, violent conduct and other forms of deviant behaviour among the youth, no theme could be more suitable,” ne noted.

Mr. Agbemadi said Tanyigbe SHS stood as a living testament to the transformation power of discipline, adding that from its humble beginning in 1991, the school had grown through perseverance, visionary leadership and the unwavering commitment of its staff and students.

He said, among the school’s alumni were many distinguished men and women serving in various sectors of the Ghanaian economy and that was ample proof of what discipline produced.

The headmaster, Mr. Etse Godstime Seake-Kwawu, said the school now had an enrolment of 666 students.

He said Tanyigbe SHS had no reliable source of water, and so, the students fetched water from a stream in the community.

Meanwhile, the headmaster said the absence of a perimeter fence around the school allowed miscreants and stray animals to gain easy access to the compound, which had only two watchmen.

He also appealed to the government to take steps to complete the dining hall, administration block, residential facilities house parents, and the 12-unit classroom block on the campus for the smooth and effective running of the school.

An indigence of Tanyigbe, Professor Dennis Yao Dzansi, said social changes to parenting gaps had diluted traditional structures of discipline.

Addressing them, he said it required a multi-stakeholder approach where parents, teachers, communities, and policymakers worked together to instill discipline in a nurturing yet firm manner.

Prizes were awarded to deserving students

Poetry: Lizzy

 

Little lazy lizzy loves laughing

Little like ladybird

Limitted to being laconicl

Little body non lethargic

Without being little, she is a leviathan

Her little lips loves to lie

Label to be lazy

Her laziness is like a laburnum

She lack the taste of work

It is not in her capacity to work when she doesn’t feel like.

She hates lacuna

So she gets her work done well

Lambada is her favourite

 Her laziness is largish

Laze is her bestie

Despite that she is a lyrical

Lizzy is licensed to laziness

Lizzy loves laughing

Little cuz tiny and cutie

Lizzy cuz hates to work

Lizzy from Elizabeth

Loves cuz caring and lovely

Laughing cuz always happy no matter wat

Education Minister to meet GTEC, UG management, others over new fees

The Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutuwm is scheduled to meet management of some public universities, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission and the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) over agitations that have met the increase in fees.

The student body has accused the University of Ghana and other public universities of defying a by Parliament instructing them to increase fees by 15%.

The management of UG has however justified its decision to increase fees.

Speaking to Citi News on the matter, the Public Relations Officer of the Education Ministry, Kwasi Kwarteng said he’s hopeful that a consensus would be arrived at the meeting on Thursday, January 5.

“The Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Adutwum, has once again intervened and has invited the universities in question. We have the University of Ghana (UG), University of Cape Coast (UCC), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and some other public universities. So we have extended invitation to them, hopefully, we will meet them together with GTEC this Thursday [January 5, 2023]. The entire aim is to be able to find a lasting solution or resolve this issue,” the Public Relations Officer of the Education Ministry.

He however insists that the various universities must comply with the directive by Parliament which is backed by the law.

“What is most important is that the law is clear, the law has provided the framework upon which fees should be charged. Parliament has done its work, so the expectation was that if there was any contrary view or disagreement, recourse is made to the law. In issues like this, it is not only about enforcement per se, but sometimes compliance is also very important. So when Parliament, the legislative arm of government makes a decision backed by law, and we have a university that goes contrary with the decisions, the other question is what happened to compliance,” Mr. Kwarteng stated.

GTEC had directed all public tertiary institutions to review fees for the next academic year by a maximum 15 percent increment.

The directive followed numerous complaints that some universities were charging more than the 15% Rate Approved by Parliament, hence the intervention by GTEC.

World Bank leads review of free SHS, others

The free Senior High School (SHS) programme is under review. The exercise is being led by the World Bank as part of efforts to properly assess the effectiveness and cost implications of all social intervention programmes currently under implementation.

Other programmes under review include the School Feeding Programme, the Planting for Food and Jobs and its offshoots, the One district, One factory (1D1F) initiative and the Agenda 111.

The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori- Atta, disclosed this to the Daily Graphic last week Wednesday.

Mr Ofori-Atta said the review was part of efforts to streamline government expenditure.

It is understood that the review is one of the actions that the government is undertaking to ensure and assure of fiscal prudence in the quest for a $3 billion support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

No hasty decisions

While stressing that a decision will be made on each of the programmes only after the outcome of the exercise has been made known, the minister said he was convinced that the exercise would not collapse the free SHS and the School Feeding Programmes.

He said the results of the exercise would aim to strengthen the initiatives by improving targeting and spending.

Why World Bank

The minister was optimistic that the exercise would be concluded soon for a document to be issued next year.

On why the government settled on the World Bank to lead the exercise, Mr. Ofori-Atta said it was to allow for a fresh eye on the initiatives.

He said after implementing the various programmes for about six years, it was only proper that a comprehensive assessment of how they had fared, the cost and results of each initiative were undertaken to inform the next line of action.

Preliminary agreement

At a joint press conference last Tuesday to announce the preliminary agreement with the IMF for a $3 billion extended credit facility (ECF), Mr Ofori- Atta explained that the review of the social interventions was also to ensure efficiency.

“I think we are doing a review to look at the efficiencies of all of these programmes and that has already kicked off.

“And as we then continue, we will make sure that these are run efficiently,” the minister said at the event that was jointly addressed by the IMF Mission Chief to Ghana, Stephane Roudet, and the Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Elsie Addo Awadzi.

It was also graced by the World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Pierre Laporte.

Mr. Ofori-Atta assured the nation and the gathering that the government was committed to the free SHS programme and would work to enhance its implementation and effectiveness.

“The issue of human capital is something that the government of President Akufo-Addo is completely committed to and clear about because that will always remain our future and also ensure social mobility for every Ghanaian. The sense of citizenship is important,” he added.

Review SHS: 'I think we should have a broader conversation about Education' - Prez. Akufo-Addo

On a response to the call for a review of the Free Senior High School (FSHS) Education Policy, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said the country needs a broader conversation on education on national development.

"One of the things people are calling for is, and some say the government has to organise itself to respond to it... they talk about reviewing SHS, I think we should have a broader conversation about the incidence of education on our national development and therefore, on our budgetary and public sector contributions to national education."

President Akufo-Addo said although there are powerful people who are against the Free SHS, he shares a different view on the programme which is that it is for the public good.

He added that the benefits of the Free SHS programme are “obvious” in the country.

"...how much money is the society prepared to devote to education and all its various ramifications, the feeding of children, we are talking about allowances for nurses and for teachers, the level of monies that are devoted to public scholarships, and all of this should form part and parcel of that discussion."

"Already we spend considerable amount of money on education in considerable terms, higher than virtually all the countries on the [African] continent, but nevertheless, it is still inadequate."

President Akufo-Addo said this when he addressed the leadership of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS).

He said the Ministry of Education was seriously looking at the issues to inform a policy direction going forward.
