No Amount of Money pumped into Public Basic Schools can improve the Sector - Prof. Adei

“No matter how much money government pumps into public basic school education to improve the sector, if the structure of management and accountability in the schools does not change, “every money is going down the drain”

‘Controversial’ Professor Adei Stephen who was recently backlashed by teachers for his recent comments “all teachers should be sacked from classroom and start afresh”, has once again said that monies pumped into the Public Basic Schools are just going down the drain if the structure of management and accountability remains unchanged.

According to him, we have allowed the quality of our basic education to collapse in the public sector which is so sad. 

The 21st century teachers are almost graduates, qualified, far more qualified than they (thus their time) were, yet, they are no teaching. 

No matter how much money government pumps into public basic school education to improve the sector, if the structure of management and accountability in the schools does not change, “every money is going down the drain.”

“I hear that from today, there will be no pupil teachers teaching. We were having pupil teachers teaching alongside with us and yet we were producing results far more and better. At this moment if you go to poor private schools, the people who are teaching there are secondary school dropouts but all their children are literate. But go to the public sector, the average person cannot read and write because the teachers have refused to teach and they’re being allowed to get away with murder,” he said on PM Express Personality Profile.
