The Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev. Charles Palmer Buckle has warned against the unbridled politicisation of education in the country, maintaining the consequences would be dire if the current trend continues.
The changing of the educational system with the coming into office of every new government, he said, was dysfunctional and ought to stop!
The Archbishop was speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Monday on a communiqué issued at the weekend by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference which is calling on government to maintain the four-year Senior High School system.
He said there was no need for the government to hurriedly revert to the three-year SHS system when an evaluation of the four-year system had not been done to determine whether it served its purpose.
“Education is our biggest heritage. If we keep politicizing education, in the next 10 years, you and I will suffer the consequences,” he told sit-in host of the Super Morning Show, Bernard Nasara Sayibu.
He expressed regret that the country's educational system was being "toyed with by those who should know better."
Most Rev. Palmer Buckle justified the Catholic Bishops' Conference's call for the abolition of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
According to him, the system was dogged by confusion, corruption and efficiencies and must be abolished and replaced with a workable system.
The CSSPS, he insisted, had defeated the purpose for which it was introduced and must be abolished.
