  The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
  
  Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
  
  Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
  
  Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

  This man should be praying to God instead of talking about how old teachers are. If new teachers are not trained what will happen if the old teachers retire. There is no retiment in education. How is his head of his church not retiring, dont he have knowledge to take over the whole church.
  Leave my old school alone and stop washing our dirt cloths outside for everybody to see.
  Baiden was the best and we what people like him back.

  Instead of employing fresh graduates to do the work you are still looking at retired teachers. Why? Go to KUST to look for technical teachers.

  Ghanaians should listen and think that "the retirement age of 60 was the colonial master's idea and plan." The life expectancy has increased greatly since the colonial times and, damn it, we must change this.
  
  The colonial masters set the retirement age at 60 so the British, Irish, Welsh and Scottish government employees in Africa could retire, go back home, live the rest of their lives and DIE there and not on the Dark Continent. But, the Whiteman (Mr. Bobo) is long gone for some 57 years and still we can't FIX THIS, Negro??
  
  Suggestions:
  
  1) Increase the retirement age from 60 to 70 because people live longer these days; and/or
  
  2) Let those who want to retire at 60 go, but those willing to continue to work be "health tested" and renew their contracts on two-year basis until at age 70. Is this hard to understand, Blackman??
  
  If these suggestions are taken, we will always have good doctors, nurses, teachers and civil servants with enormous work experience and intellectual knowledge to help develop the damn country.
  
  $$ By the way, HOW OLD IS AKUFO-ADDO OR HOW OLD WAS kUFFUOR WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT?$$ If these two can RULE or GOVERN a country, then how can't a teacher teach Geography, Maths, History, Science, Business Administration, etc., etc? We certainly should change with the times, Negro!!

  Omanhene U$A I share your wise view.
  
  These aging staff members should quit working in the polytechnic, and form consortium of senior polytechnic teachers to continue imparting useful knowledge to the youth of Ghana. They will get funding from technical minded donors throughout the world. They should not depend on our vision less government.

  Why is it that lecturers snup the polytechnicss? Sorry Prof, the same has happened at our hospitals. Before NDC made Ghana fatally broke, clinical medical doctors worked on contract for five years after their compulsory retirement. This govt has secretly cancelled that as if there is no shortage of doctors in ghana, and has even refused to pay the doctors who worked for a whole year(2013) thus inviting the cheated doctors to go to court. these are the actions of an irresponsible govt
