PROBE DATA TO BRIDGE ACADEMIC DISPARITIES – EDUCATION MINISTER ADVISES EPCG

Ministry of Education, Accra, June 23. 2021.

The Minister of Education, Hon Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has charged the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Ghana (EPCG) to consciously investigate existing data on academic performances of their schools to bridge any looming disparity in the educational sector. He made the call during a historic visit by the largest church delegation to the ministry.

In a discussion, the minister noted that the world is ever evolving and the church needs to assess its

performance position critically while replicating best practices among thriving schools in weaker ones to keep them at par with other institutions. He congratulated the church on model schools such as Mawuli Senior High which was a top cluster school. He promised to impress 

on the infrastructure team to urgently refurbish Kpenoe, a primary school owned by the church affected by rains in the Ho Municipal District.

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the EPCG, Rt. Rev Dr. Lt. Col (rtd) Bliss Divine Agbeko expressed appreciation to the ministry for the partnership and support over the years and assured the minister of the church’s commitment

 

 to promote excellence in education to argument government initiatives. The Clerk of General Assembly, Rev Dr. Emmanuel Kobla Amey presented some needs of the church to the minister.

The delegation included the Pr. Charles Sitsofe (Presbyter Executive of the General Assembly), Rev. E.E. Attu (Director, Program

mes, Ecumenical and Social Relations), Rev S.K. Tettey (Ag. Director HR and Admin), Rev Dr. MacWilson Atakro (West Volta Moderator), Mrs Marian J.A. Adzroe (General Manager, E.P.
