The minister for Education, Dr , says the government is taking steps to transform basic education with the provision of modern classrooms suitable for effective academic work.
He said it is unacceptable for children to study in dilapidated classrooms in this day and age, emphasising the importance of changing the situation by investing in infrastructure for a conducive learning environment. "We cannot educate 21st-century children in 19th-century buildings and expect 21st-century outcomes," he told a gathering of the clergy at a forum in Kumasi.
The forum provided a platform for the minister to walk the clergy through the journey of Ghana's education since 2017 by highlighting policy interventions transforming the sector.
He said we cannot continue to talk about how Asian Tigers like Singapore and South Korea used education to change their fortunes without taking deliberate steps to improve the infrastructure of the education system.
