The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has issued a strong appeal to the government to safeguard the Ministry of Education’s National Education Strategic Plan (2018-2030) from potential partisan manipulation.
They emphasized that maintaining the integrity of this plan is essential for delivering inclusive, quality education and ensuring equitable access for all Ghanaian students.
The call was made by Most Reverend Matthew Gyamfi, President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, at the conclusion of the National Catholic Education Forum held in Koforidua.
He stressed the importance of respecting and upholding the strategic plan to secure the future of education in the country.
The Rev. said the state must respect the National Education Strategic Plan (2018-2030) of the MoE and protect it from potential partisan manipulations for purely political advantage.
He argued that political interference could undermine the long-term goals and objectives outlined in the plan, hindering progress in the education sector.
In addition to protecting the strategic plan, the Bishops also urged the government to finalize and assent to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that defines the partnership between the government and mission schools.
This MoU, as mandated by the Pre-Tertiary Act 2020 (Act 1049), is crucial for the effective management of faith-based schools.
