Those who got excellent grades in secondary school were told such grades were university grades, not grades for training colleges.
The assumption is that the training colleges are for those who failed or performed poorly in secondary school just as Visual Arts, Home Economics and Technical education are for those who performed poorly in BECE.
This is the mental predisposition of both the schooled and unschooled.
Why wouldn’t same minds look down on teachers? It’s in line with our collective thinking as a people.
Yet, the assumed poor intellectual performers are expected to be the teachers of the future, the nurses and the imaginative arts men and artisans and technologists.
No wonder, this is the state of our nation; poor engineering and technical planning.
We need mental reorientation.
We need a national reorientation programme with a strategic change management plan.
NCCE, education managers and media managers must collaborate to reorient the nation.
