Clergy members in the Ashanti Region are calling for a law mandating successive governments to uphold continuity in educational policies.
They believe that such legislation would help preserve reforms introduced by past administrations, ultimately benefiting future generations.
Following a presentation by the Minister of Education on the state of Ghana’s education system, the clergy expressed their support for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) educational policies and programs implemented thus far.
Most Reverend Professor Daniel Yinka Sarfo, retired Archbishop of the Kumasi Diocese of the Anglican Church, highlighted the importance of progressive steps to sustain improvements in the education sector.
“The challenge is when a new government comes, they will abrogate the policies of the previous government. So, this one from now, they shouldn’t do that. They should follow what the previous government started. From 2025 onwards, they should follow the same policy. So that we can grow together,” he stared.
He continued: “It has happened before. SHS was extended to four years, but a government came and reduced it again to three years. The ups and downs will not help our youth and the progress of the country in terms of development.”
