The Executive Director of Eduwatch, Kofi Asare says recent choices by the Education Minister demonstrates he is out to execute his thoughts and not well-thought-out policy reforms.



Concurring to him, the need of a arrangement record to protect the so-called change gives no road for educationists and other stakeholders to include their input and concerns to the record because it is being implemented.


This he says renders the whole change as the brainchild of the Instruction Serve and none other barring those the change straightforwardly influences.


Talking on JoyNews’ PM Express, Kofi Asare specified that past instruction changes had not taken such a covert and cloud arrange to be implemented and in this way energized stakeholders to require intrigued within the implementation and victory of same.



“The instruction change of 2007, area interviews were held and my association taken part at the community level, within the area level, in Twifo-Hemang Lower Denkyira at Twifo Praso at the forecourt of the Get together.


“At the conclusion of that broad nationwide meeting, a record was created which was the change record. So it was an amalgam, a synopsis of all the concerns, yearnings, the conclusions that citizens communicated in regard of the challenges that President Kuffour needed to resolve. When that record was propelled by President Kufour at the National Theater, I was there.


“Presently, what I need to say is each specialist, each parent, each accomplice CSO had a duplicate of this change archive which protected all of us in regard of our collective duty in contributing to its victory. Presently that's how you are doing change and anticipate all stakeholders to come onboard and play their part,” he said.



Bemoaning the circumstance of this change, Kofi Asare famous that without a arrangement report to characterize the so-called change, it avoids educationists and other stakeholders from having a voice in what ought to go into the change and how it ought to be implemented.


“This change we have has no reform archive. This change we have has no arrangement. So you sanctuary’t characterized the change and documented it not one or the other have you created arrangements within the different change ranges that can be surveyed.


“So, on what premise would you anticipate educationists to form an input into the change on the off chance that there’s no approach guarding the change and there’s no change record? At that point it implies that what you’re doing is merely’re really implementing thoughts,” he said.



He included that “Three weeks back the Serve and the President cut turf for a STEM Institute. And when stakeholders inquired for a approach archive guarding that STEM Foundation, 30million cedis venture…they said in two weeks’ time the approach report will be prepared.


“Do you cut a grass for a 30 million extend for a STEM Foundation, something unused in Ghana, we wear’t know what it’s almost, modern, and the approach record will be prepared after? It implies simply are implementing thoughts you’re not implementing arrangements which is my key issue.”
