The Education Minister has downplayed the politicisation of the country’s educational system.

Dr Yaw Osei Adutwm believes the situation where stakeholders single out some challenges in government policies and blow them out for proportion to fit a particular agenda is nothing to write home about.

He was speaking at a press conference at the Information Ministry in Accra on June 6.

"I always believe that we are one county. One government does something, the other continues. If it goes well, it goes well for the nation, and politics should not come to the level where we want to score some political points by saying that something that is so good is so bad," he explained.

Over the past few weeks, Ghana's education sector has dominated conversations with many guardians and stakeholders, identifying some shortfall within the programme.

Former Education Minister, Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman also weighed in on the development lamenting what she says are challenges that the current Akufo-Addo administration is failing to admit.

"If the people in charge are saying there are no problems, then there is a big problem," Prof Opoku Agyeman said in a yet-to-be aired episode of The Probe.

However, Dr Adutwum insists that the government has looked beyond political lenses in addressing the country's challenges as far as the education sector is concerned.

Using the E-Blocks constructed under that NDC's administration as a reference point, the Minister explained that; "the E-Block at Dome-Kwabenya, I am on record to have said that the location couldn’t have been better."

"It is filled with students. We’ve added a two-story block by GETFund. The GNPC came and built a six-classroom block. Good location, excellent location, its benefiting Ghanaian people."

"If you go to Nsawam and there is one there and by virtue of its location, cannot be operationalised, and I have to add dormitories, I will say that. But I am not going to say because the NDC constructed E-Blocks, somehow, everything is wrong."

According to him, access to quality education in the country's growing human resource interest will continue to be prioritised over political capital.

"We are going to build a robust education system that will stand the test of time," he said.
