We’ll rely on experts to deliver quality education – Haruna

The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, says President John Dramani Mahama’s administration will rely heavily on experts to deliver quality education to Ghanaians.

The Minister disclosed this during the launch of a report by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) on Access to and Quality of Basic and Secondary Education in Ghana.

Mr. Iddrisu lauded the GSS for using data over the last two decades to provide information as to which areas the government should prioritized.

On bridging regional disparities, Mr. Iddrisu gave an assurance that the government would do its best to ensure the equitable distribution of resources, improve rural school infrastructure and deploy more trained teachers in underserved areas.

“We have to invest more in teacher training, undertake some curriculum reforms and modern teaching methods to enhance learning outcomes,” the minister further stated.

In a fraternal message, the Ambassador of Denmark to Ghana, Tom Norring, said the relationship between the Danes Statistical Service and that of Ghana was a strong one.
