Basic Education is in crisis – NAGRAT rings alarm bells as capitation grant goes into arrears

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) is worried over the seeming neglect of Basic Education in the country warning that the situation could spell doom for education in general in the country.

 President of NAGRAT, Mr Angel Carbonu underscored the significance of Basic Education but observed that much attention has been paid to the Senior High School (SHS) following the introduction of the Free SHS to the neglect of the fundamentals.

“The third issue is the stressful issue we find ourselves in both basic schools and Senior High Schools. With the advent of Free Senior High School, the attention is shifted from Basic Schools to Senior High. Meanwhile, for any educational system to stand the test of time, we need to look at the basic school in our educational system. The Bible itself even says that show the child the way he should go and he will never grow to depart from it. It is our view that when we get our basic school right, we will get our educational issues right”, he revealed at a press conference.

According to him, basic schools in the country have also been starved of resources as Capitation Grant used for recurrent expenditure is in arrears.

“Capitation Grant is in arrears for more than two terms for the Basic Schools. Capitation grant is the amount of money the headmasters and headmistress use for recurrent expenditure. If the furniture is broken, if windows are broken, if doors are broken, purchase of chalk, dusters and all materials needed”, he revealed.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
