Education spending must shift towards foundational learning – Haruna Iddrisu
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has criticised the level of public spending on secondary education, arguing that Ghana must redirect greater attention and resources towards foundational learning at the basic education level.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, September 12, Mr Iddrisu said excessive expenditure on secondary education was one of the major setbacks left by the previous administration in Ghana’s education system.
He maintained that Ghana's education priorities must ultimately be guided not only by expanding access to secondary education, but also by ensuring that children acquire the basic skills needed to benefit from education at every subsequent level.
