Teacher Kwadwo tells GES, Dr. Adutwum bitter truth they don’t want to hear

Teacher Kwadwo tells GES, Dr. Adutwum bitter truth they don’t want to hear in a comment which can be described as “a bunch of punchlines”.

Teacher Kwadwo is in the news for good reasons and every teacher is applauding him for his heroic comment.

As part of a key comment he left on a post by the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, he told the minister in plain language the challenges that confront education which the GES and the Minister are not aware of or are not ready to let the world know.

His comment was a response to the Minister’s post on the number of public and private basic schools that participated in the just ended 2022 National Standardized Test administered to over 750,000 learners.

In his post, Teacher Kwadwo asked, “How far with the first STANDARDIZED TEST? “

He went on to outline in plain language the current state of education in many parts of the country, especially in deprived communities.

He indicated that, there were no Teaching and Learning Resources (TLRs) in many schools located in the hinterlands.

“Also, are you aware that most of the schools in the villages have no TLRs and schools are in poor conditions?” He quizzed the rather happy Minister, who was announcing that 750,000 learners took part in the NST for 2022.

He furthered that there were educators in Ghana who were sacrificing to teach in places that the Minister of Education will never want to go. “Teachers are teaching at places that you will never step foot.” His comment said.

Teacher Kwadwo who was not excited by probably the beautiful images that accompanied the Minister’s post on his official Facebook page added that, the minister was happy visiting schools located in comfortable places which make it look as though all was well with education at the basic school level in the country.

“You move around schools in comfortable places and make people think all is well with Government Basic Education. Nea wo guo no,ɛno ara na wobetwa!” He said.

His post ended with a wise saying in the Akan language which can be written in English as “What you sow, is exactly what you will reap”.
