  1. Aisha should just listen and ask questions. Her interjections of hmmm, yep, etc and long laughter mar the interview. Please let your viewers and listeners do the emotional responses at home for themselves. She seems to agree with all is being said while some of her viewers may differ. That definitely will put them off.

  2. Unfortunately, Prof. is not dealing with the issue holistically. I beg to differ in his submission. Madam, by the grace of God, i have been a teacher and a head teacher in both public and private schools for 18years.
    If you may, for the fear of victimisation, just speak to some teachers in confidence, you'd marvel at the reports you'd receive.

    Most Ghanaians, especially the likes of Prof. act like the proverbial ostrich which pretends not to notice the heat from the scorching sun.

    A pupil in the private school has almost all the required TLMs for studies. Additionally, the parents/guardians provide direct or indirect home support for the child to improve his/her academics.

    Meanwhile, the pupil in the public school is perhaps a househelp, a child of a poor/irresponsible/single unconcerned parent/guardian. The school may be free but breakfast and/or lunch is a difficulty. That same child has no writing materials. His/her parents/guardian is of the strong political view that education is free, including the child's writing materials etc.
    Madam, how can you compare a ward in a public school with a private school.

    How many times does the education ministry/GES take initiative to alter our system through a proper stakeholders consultative meeting? Are the governments more informed than the teachers on the ground? Hasn't it always been a top-bottom approach to making national decisions on our educational system?

    Until all the stakeholders in education, especially public schools are consulted for their input before the "bogus" regular education policy changes, people like Prof will always do the blame game. They'd keep trying to wish away a tree with deep root spread widely in the ground.
