2 Bodies honour Education Minister

Two bodies have honoured the Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, at separate ceremonies in Accra for his role in improving education in the country.

It was also to acknowledge the minister’s role in the introduction of the free SHS and the double-track system of education.

The two stated that those contributions were worth noting as they brought a lot of gains to parents, students and the nation as a whole.

The honour, which coincided with the birthday of the minister last Friday, was also in recognition of the minister's humility, selflessness, respect for people irrespective of political, ethnic, religion and other social affiliations.

Address

Speaking to the two delegations at separate ceremonies, Dr Adutwum commended them for the honour done him and said that would spur him on to do more for the development of education in the country.

He stated that getting the best for the nation required a multi-sectorial approach and a collective effort of all, adding that “it is only then that we can help get the best results for the various facets of the economy”.

The minister noted that although it was the responsibility of the government to initiate development policies for the country, the government was ready to listen and receive any kind of inputs from all for the development of the nation.

He appealed to parents and the society in general to develop interest in the education of their children so they could monitor the progress being made to enable them to give the right support or advice at the right time.

Presentations

The leadership of the Dzelukope/Anlo State, presented a Kente cloth and traditional sandals to the minister and another cloth to his spouse, while the delegation from the Ashanti Region presented a citation which was read to the minister, congratulating him on his elevation to the substantive minister position.

It attributed Dr Adutwum’s elevation to the trust President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had in him and urged him to work extra hard to deliver the President’s vision of transforming the nation’s education to meet the 21st century needs.

The leader of the Dzelukope/Anlo State, Togbi Gobah Tengey Seddoh, pledged the support of the people of the Volta Region to the minister and urged him to continue to do more towards the development of education in the country.
