THE MINISTER for Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, aka Napo, has hailed teachers, stressing that the proper development of the country largely rests on them.<\/p>\n

According to him, teaching
\nis an essential component in nation-building all over the world, hence the
\nstrongest need to support teachers to deliver on their mandates at all times.<\/p>\n

In this regard, he has
\nassured of government\u2019s continuous efforts to contribute to improve the lives
\nof teachers in order to help them to positively transfer knowledge to students.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a great asset to
\nour nation, and I assure you that my government will not let you down,\u201d Napo
\nassured teachers.<\/p>\n

He was giving a speech
\nduring the 11th Congregation for the 2018 Diploma in Basic Education (DBE)
\nGraduands of the St. Monica\u2019s College of Education, Mampong, in the Ashanti
\nRegion on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the minister,
\nthe various reforms currently ongoing in the educational sector were meant to
\nimprove quality teaching and learning in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment\u2019s reforms in
\nteacher education form part of a wider scope of reforms at all levels to ensure
\nthat our education delivery system meets the needs of a modern 21st century
\nthat produces skilled, confident, competitive citizens to power its
\nindustrialization,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the
\nvarious reforms are mainly centered on \u201cteacher education because we believe
\nthat education reforms would be meaningless without placing the teacher at its
\nheart\u201d.<\/p>\n

Napo stated that government
\nwould also continue to invest heavily in the educational sector in order to
\nhelp accelerate the developmental agenda of the country.<\/p>\n

He also entreated teachers
\nto take full advantage of the advancement of technology to improve their
\ndelivery and inculcate constant reading culture and discipline in their pupils
\nto enable them improve.<\/p>\n
