Change in school colours: Government wants to paint schools with NPP colours – Dafeamekpor

Member of Parliament representing the South Dayi constituency, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has accused the Education Minister of planning to paint basic schools in Ghana with NPP colours.

Yaw Osei Adutwum has announced a move by the government to paint new public schools with blue and white colour.

But reacting to this new move, Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor indicated that the choice of colour clearly shows that the Minister is looking at painting schools with the NPP colours.

“The Minister of Education says he wants to paint school buildings in NPP colours.

He could not fathom the thinking that went into the decision considering the fact that government cannot provide furniture, school buildings among other infrastructure to help improve teaching and learning and therefore it is shocking that government will want to invest sums of money in changing the colours of public schools.

Meanwhile, the Ministry has clarified the move to change the colours and uniforms of public schools.

According to its spokesperson, Kwasi Kwarteng, the move is to paint new schools with new colours and also ensure that basic schools have variety in uniforms.
