No doubt this man is the right man for the job. I wish he pushes through no matter what. There are people in our education system who doesn't want to change because they are afraid to improve themselves.
My first time having the opportunity to listen to the education minister. My overall assessment is that he's torelant, thoughtful and has great ideas that when implemented will help our education system. The two laudable ideas that I picked from him and support are: 1. Colocation of schools. Primary, middle, SHS.all in one place and sharing libraries and science labs. This will also reduce the need for boarding schools to a large extent. 2. Admitting SHS students with a pass in mathematics to enter the university and be allowed to take an extra class to makeup their poor maths grade. No way, a weak grade or D7 in maths alone or even a fail in maths alone, should keep students out of reach of our univeAutumn. Both ideas are implemented in the United States education system. Kudos. Adutwum.
That’s why he thinks different. He was brought from US by NANA. He has a High School in the USA. So if he is doing same in Ghana so we can have the same education standards like US what else do Ghanaians want
Development and progress takes time so Ghanaians must be patient and listen to him. What has our old systems make us achieve. Should we ignore all the changes he is introducing and remain in our old systems?...
I always listen to this man and what I realized is he have the nation at heart so he is doing anything good to bring change in our education system but because people are not going to go away with the instructions money and won't the system to work
I think otherwise. He doesn't sound like a sound leader for our educational system. He speaks more like a politician than an educationist. We need a sound leader who takes decisions for the long term so we could plan properly. This one step forward, two step backwards approach to especially our education system is becoming one too many.
@@almokgroup6163 strongly disagree with you. If you could check his background he is not a politician. You can only disagree with him if you look at his policies with a political lens.
@@boseman8227 my brother, the only lens am wearing is the one that is seeing the results of the policies he is leading to implement. For five years now we are still experimenting with our secondary and basic school education. That's not fair. Shs reopened and in just a week you ask them to come home and return again in 10days. Do you know how many young girls boys have camped? Do you know how much parents would have to spend again to send their wards back to school? Do you understand the disruption it brings some homes? People plan according to the calendar. You can't just be taking decision amidst. It's been five years for goodness sake. Let's bring some stability. This is getting too much. To conclude eerh, I love his personality. A very fine gentleman. My eyes are shut on his dressing. But his leadership impact in the educational sector needs some reviewing. Look at the explanation he gave to semester decision for basic schools and it's subsequent reversal in just 2 weeks. It's not good my brother.
@@almokgroup6163 I can understand your frustrations brother in trying to reform and transform education system some of these things are inevitable there would be collateral damage but in a long run it will be worthwhile. I went through the 1987 education reforms it was pretty bad and our education has not been great since these guys have learned from it and they want to put things right lets give then a chance. I'm not into politics however every government that want fix our broken education system I'm all for it because I was not happy with the education system I went through. If you listened carefully we all know that a country like Nigeria is a broken country but the data bernard read shows the their education system is better than ours and that should worry us in my opinion.
This man is a real technocrat when it comes to education but to help the black society comes with a lot of problem ,he trying to deliver but the system is not helping 😞
Don't you people come and impose some few rich students as a sign that most people can on us. Know that most parents struggle to pay their wards fees especially when they have more than a child in school. Is there an enterprise where there is no sacrifice? Even if there is a struggle by government, it's the sacrifice which we all must bear as a country.
@@okorno22 we are figting for 7 billion on E Levy but , 52 billion cedis missing from the coffers the accounting general has signaled. We are a joke. Stupid nation.
The reality is the push to have free secondary schools while admirable was undertaken to hastily to secure political points. As the minister stated the Education ministry didn't even have the infrastructure or expertise to implement such an audacious plan. They needed time to put systems and staffing in place. Basically, they're cobbling together an Education plan on the fly.
@@Ghanadiaries That's a trite and a gross over statement of the progress. Spending a year putting the infrastructure and policies in place withIn the Education ministry, hiring staff, developing school planning polices etc in order to implement the Fress SHS would've made the transitions more efficient. The administration didnt fully anticipate the demand and how many private schools would close as a result. The issue is poorer kids, especially rural kids are STILL shut out because middle class kids flooded the system. Pres. Addo was absolutely correct to implement Free SHS it was way past due, but just a few months of strategic planning would've been good for the process. This is a long road ahead. It's okay to acknowledge some of the missteps and opportunities to Improve them.
@@Erica-ls7bp the infrastructure deficit in ghana is not a year or two. It would take ghana a long time to meet all infrastructure in the country. It was a good decision ghana took to bring all kids on board. I went to school with palm front as roof but we made it.
@@wabenzywabenzy6477 You completely misunderstood my comment by latching on to my use of the word infrastructure. I very carefully defined what I meant. And I very clearly stated that free SHS was the correct thing to do.
The minister is more focused on creating solutions and systems that will bring changes for our education to be better...he is not focusing on your constant complain about problems we have. His objective is to restructure the system for better results. Ghanaians sees no positive. We enjoy pin pointing problems instead of thinking solutions.
So he can only sit in his comfort and come out to tell the whole country he is doing this and that and wants everyone to clap for him right. The sector is not his private firm he is only the minister for a period of time
Well done Michael, these negative attitudes has been worse within our media space. Media personalities copy Western media style from counties well developed already. Their role should be to educate Ghanaians and not just complain, there no money sitting anywhere in any developing country.
@@kdx1214 Who told you their role is to educate Ghanaians. What do you know about media and journalism. If you are looking for agencies to educate Ghanaians go to the NCCE wai
@@okorno22 Listen to what? His 4 year dream or what and then after another minister comes and change it to his four year dream. This is our educational system not a one man show to run.
The E blocks were mostly classrooms style. The designers had the old systems of JHS and SHS in mind. He is restructuring the High School System we have please trust him. Ghanaians students are getting better under his management. He has completed 30 of them E- block already. The rest have no source of funding.
Reading some of the comments here tells me the ndc will collapse the free shs because they can't do it and the poor will suffer. Change takes sacrifice and determination. How do we expect change when still do the same thing..as3m s3b3
If the children are walking 10 to 20 miles provide the with school bus. Walking distance is different from transportation by bus! The panelist are frustrated by the ministry, why ? No dedicated timeline , no concrete answer just biting about the buss and diverting answers! Just micromanage answers! Boss you can do better!
Mr. Minister, your "I's" are too much. How can you be leading a ministry full of professors and the likes and be speaking like you are the only decision maker in that ministry? The I, I, I, is really disturbing. That's why nobody is taking any responsibility in the sector
Is because he has done it in the states where everyone is dying to send our kids for education, and there are a lot of systems and changes needed to be done but in this country we don't want to change we prefer to be on our old way which every country is changing in ways we do things
No doubt this man is the right man for the job. I wish he pushes through no matter what. There are people in our education system who doesn't want to change because they are afraid to improve themselves.

The boarding schools are too expensive to operate, the host is correct the minister should be workino to dismantle the boarding system.
Did you go to boarding school ? Which of them ?

Just micromanage answers! Boss you can do better!
Everything he said was either coming soon or has been announced or sod has been cut.😁 eeii
