The Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has cautioned all Ghanaians to be careful and desist from doing politics with the ongoing education transformation.
He explained that although the transformation was in the interest of the nation and does not consider beneficiaries’ political affiliation, ethnic orientation, religion and other social standings, doing politics with it would not help the country.

The visit was to invite the Minister to the 60th anniversary of the School which climaxed on 26th November 2022 at Sogakope, in the Volta region.
The Education Minister said if Ghanaians should allow the ongoing education transformation to continue for a couple of years, there was no way the country would not develop since the right transformation measures were being put in place to leapfrog the nation’s economy.
He cited for instance the push for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education when supported by all would soon turn the nation’s education and ultimately the nation’s economy to improve the standard of living of the ordinary Ghanaian.
