The Auxiliary Bishop of Accra Archdiocese, Most Reverend John Kobina Louis, has expressed concern over the decline in Ghana’s education quality due to political decisions.
Speaking at St. Augustine’s College’s 90th-anniversary lecture, Bishop Louis emphasized the need for collaboration between the Government, Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, and stakeholders.
He stressed that this collective effort is essential to review and refine national policies, administrative procedures, and practices to ensure learners receive a holistic and nation-building education.
Ghana’s education system has undergone numerous transformations, with each regime implementing policies aimed at enhancing the sector to drive national development.
Despite significant investments in the sector, the role of stakeholders, particularly alumni, cannot be overstated.
Alumni associations have made valuable contributions to their alma maters, with the St. Augustine’s Past Students Union (APSU) being a shining example.
APSU’s year groups have made significant contributions to the school’s development, including infrastructure upgrades, logistical support, and financial assistance to needy students.
Bishop Louis emphasized the need for a collaborative approach between the government, Ghana Education Service, and stakeholders in formulating educational policies.
He noted that this collective effort is crucial in reclaiming Ghana’s commitment to providing high-quality education that benefits all learners and fosters national development.
The 90th Anniversary of St. Augustine’s College explores the vital role of alumni as stakeholders in enhancing quality education, highlighting the significance of alumni contributions to the school’s development.
