Ahafo Catholic Schools Manager calls for sustainability of education reforms

The Manager of Catholic Schools in Ghana's Ahafo Region, Boakye Baafi Williams, has urged the Ghana Education Service (GES) to emphasize the long-term viability of reforms in the nation's education system. At a forum in Acherensua, Mr. Williams highlighted that the success of these reforms should not solely rely on financial support but also on the dedication of those implementing and benefiting from them.

He emphasized that teachers, students, and education officials must take responsibility for the reforms to ensure their enduring benefits. Mr. Williams cautioned that incessant changes in educational policies without sufficient focus on continuity could erode the gains made and hinder the effectiveness of reforms. Meanwhile, the Headmaster of Boakye Tromo Senior High Technical School, Kwarteng Benjamin, identified poor internet connectivity as a significant obstacle to the successful implementation of certain education reforms that depend heavily on digital tools and computers.

He urged the government to expedite the improvement of internet connectivity in schools to enable teachers and students to fully leverage technology-driven educational initiatives.
