Following the release of the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results, a cross-section of Ghanaians, have taken to social media platforms and traditional media to berate the Ministry of Education for the falling standard of education in the country.
As per some Ghanaians, the BECE results, on the off chance that not the more terrible as far as pass rate as of late, will be among the most lowest, adding that many candidates flopped tragically and can't get to senior high schools.
Among the people criticizing this development is the CEO of Marrer Ghana Limited and Susagtad Boat Building, Novihoho Afaglo, who described the peculiarity as a shame to the country's education.
Mr Afaglo credited the low BECE pass rate and the overall performance of education in the country to inconsistency policies and programmes by political leaders and an absence of political will to foster the sector.
He said from former President John Kufuor's period to the current government, there hasn't been a defined educational policy for basic schools to senior high schools as each political party keeps on changing the span and time for basic education.
"I remember during the latter part of Kufuor's administration, Senior High Schools term was changed from three to four years however when late Professor John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama took over they transformed it back," he expressed.
Mr Afaglo revealed that for the past 20 years, there hasn't been any single year that teachers and university lecturers don't embark on protesting action as a result of bad conditions of service, book allowance, research allowance and others which perpetually affects the growth of education in the country.On 2022 BECE results, he expressed his dismay over the results crediting the low pass rate to absence of planned programmes and policies by the government and the Ghana Education Service to sort out modalities equipped towards working on the falling norm of both BECE and West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination.
He charged the ministry to be well-suited in their policies and work steadily to ensure that education, which is the doorway to development, is appropriately offered the important attention it merits.
