MINISTER FOR EDUCATION,MAD. BETTY MOULD IDDDRISU |
our current educational system is too liberal that is grammer centered contretratring too much on how to teach student to speak good english better than the QUEEN rather then focusing on vocational and techenical training which is a pre - condition for acquiring job in our part of the world.One will argue this point to the gutter by talking of the introducing of Basic Design and Technology to solve this menace. But i must say with regret that it is too ''bookish'' that it is only theoritical to allow student learn and pass their exams not giving them the skills needed Another teething problem that has prevented the ghanaian educational system from producing graduate is the kind of problem surrounding the system itself.A system, slapped with inadequate teaching staff ,inadquate classroom, wrong sudject combinination and inadequate teaching facilities can't produce graduate fit for the job market All this problems and the like hinder's the abil;ity of an educational system that look nice on paper to produce people fit for the job market.Till we take a critical look at our educational system graduate unemployment will not be archived from the history of GHANA. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MEMBERS OF WRITERS AND DEBATERS CLUB AND MY COLLEAGUES AT KETA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NEWS AGENCY(CURRENT AFFAIRS) AND LIVINGSTONE ATORKEY AT ST PAULS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL(St PAULS REPORTER)
