“We are going to look at all the disparities and ensure there are quality schools everywhere in the country,” he said.

He added “I saw the performance at Wa Senior High School and it is something that I am going to take on board to look at why the poor performance at that school in all the subject areas.

“I love data and so I am going to look at these and resolve the disparity challenges.”
