Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jr., has commended President Akufo-Addo for his substantial infrastructure investments in Ghana’s education sector.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Peace FM’s morning show programme, Kokrokoo, Kwesi Pratt suggested that the government should prioritize promoting its successes in the education sector over its digitalization agenda.
He stressed on the ongoing construction of new science laboratories across the nation as evidence of the government’s commitment to education.
He noted that despite existing challenges in the education sector, the significant improvements in examination results in the sciences could be attributed to these infrastructure developments.
“I have chanced on some information that points to the fact that a lot is going on in the education sector. I know what I am talking about and Kwami, you know that I do not talk with facts. A lot is happening, and the construction of new science laboratories is also ongoing.
“This morning I was enquiring from Nana Akomea [leading member of the New Patriotic Party, NPP] who was a member of the panel, why the government has made all these massive investments in the country’s education sector but very little is heard about them.
“The education sector undoubtedly has challenges that we all read and know about but if you look at the construction of new science laboratories going on across the country, it explains why examination results in the sciences have greatly improved and I think this is what the government should be talking about,” Kwesi Pratt said.
