The acting headmaster of Kwabre Senior High School in the Nkoranza South District in the Brong-Ahafo Region, Seth Badu, has attributed the falling standards of education to the failure of the government to provide the necessary logistics.
“Some logistics meant for schools arrive late when a greater part of the academic year would have gone. Such a situation undoubtedly affects teaching and learning,” he said.
Speaking at a forum organised by the Nkoranza Students Union, Mr. Badu said the lack of accommodation for teachers, especially those in deprived communities, was a major challenge facing education in the area as a number of teachers refused postings to such areas.
He said the refusal of some parents to provide the basic school needs of their children tended to move such children on to the streets to join bad peer groups as well as indulge in social vices.
Mr. Badu advised teachers who frequently absent themselves and also indulged in alcoholism to stop such practices to avoid sanctions.
He also advised students to respect their teachers so as to become responsible citizens in future.
Rev. Canon Peter Kwadwo Sakyi, in charge of the Nkoranza Saint Barnabas Anglican Church, urged the assemblies to institute incentive packages for hardworking teachers in their respective areas to encourage them to give of their best.
Rev. Kubi Asuama Yeboah, acting Nkoranza District Director of Education, called on the district assemblies to institute bye-laws to check the attendance of school children at video shows, concerts, funerals and dance sessions.
