The Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) has vowed to place the teacher at the centre of the nation’s education policy if voted into power on December 7.That was the way to improve the quality of education, Mr Osei Nkrumah, the Ashanti Regional Communication Director of the party, said at a press conference in Kumasi on Monday.He said when the teaching profession was made attractive and the teacher provided with the needed facilities and working tools, performance of the children would be enhanced.The press conference had been called to state the party’s position on education in view of what he described as the “confusion” that had characterized the political discourse.Mr Nkrumah noted that Ghana’s educational system among other things lacked the quality, insisting that inadequate teacher motivation, low remuneration and poor conditions of service had combined to prevent teachers from delivering quality service.He spoke of the need to upgrade the Colleges of Education to help them to become real places of choice that could compete with other higher learning institutions for the best students.Mr Nkrumah said the PPP would bring quality education to every child, standardize school facilities from kindergarten (KG) to senior high school (SHS) with libraries, toilets, classrooms, kitchen and housing for teachers as well as playground.Additionally, they would ensure free, compulsory and continuous education in public schools from KG to the SHS and deploy “education police” to enforce the compulsory aspect of the policy.He appealed to the people to give the PPP the mandate on December 7, to govern the nation to enable it implement its education policy, to transform and make life better for them.
