Former Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has urged the government to urgently release funds to the Ministry of Education and clear all outstanding teacher allowances, saying these steps are vital to improving student performance nationwide.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/strong> show, Rev. Fordjour stressed that teachers must be properly motivated if the country expects stronger learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best course of action is that funding must be released to the Ministry of Education to drive outcomes in our education system. Teachers should also be paid their allowances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He cautioned the government against blaming teachers for poor academic results, insisting that the sector needs collaboration, not confrontation.<\/p>\n

Rev. Fordjour also called for deeper partnerships with mission schools, which he described as institutions that consistently produce some of the nation\u2019s top-performing students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government should work with teachers instead of blaming them for students\u2019 poor performance. Rather than assigning blame, the focus should be on motivating teachers to help students succeed. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe government should also build positive partnerships with mission schools because they often have the highest-performing students,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
