The Minister of Education, Mr Alex Tetteh-Enyo has asked directors of education to redouble their efforts to ensure that the much talked about quality education delivery in the country will not be compromised. This was contained in an address read on his behalf by his deputy, Deputy Joseph Annan at the 16th annual Conference of Directors of Education (CODE) at Koforidua. The conference with the theme: �Financing Pre-Tertiary Education-The Role of Stakeholders� which was attended by all the district and regional directors of education was to examine issues affecting education and find solutions to inherent problems. According to Mr Tettey-Enyo, the government and other stakeholders such as international development partners had invested so much in the country�s educational sector for quality delivery which could be accomplished if directors of education redoubled their efforts in that respect. The Education Minister called on all stakeholders to mobilise and utilize all available resources to promote education and indicated that such an initiative would empower school children and students with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of the current technological and competitive world. �The government has invested over GH�1.7 billion in education and it is also being supported by private schools, parents, not for profit churches, Islamic schools and the international development partners who contribute between nine to ten per cent of the education budget and you must help to ensure quality delivery to empower our children with the requisite skills that they require to be successful in this technological and competitive economic world order,� Mr Tettey-Enyo told the gathering. The education minister who also stated that education was the vehicle for national development was hopeful that its directors would live up to expectation.
