  Koforidua poly has a very low entry requirements for her Btech programs. Eg .CTC II&III as entry requirements for a 2yr. top up Btech in civil engineering is an abomination. Btech programs are for HND holders.

  The decentralization of pre-tertiary education is a laudable idea, which will move teaching and learning services closer to the people and improve internal efficiency for better learning outcomes.
  
  I have read the concerns of the CSOs regarding appointments of directors. It is good that they will be appointed on competitive basis.
  
  But, appointment of directors should not only be the center of the debate. As a public finance expert, I would have liked to see fiscal decentralization as part of the debate. How do we fund the decentralized education institutions and shcools? Are we going to use the current centralized financing system? What are the fiscal transfer mechanisms we have to put in place? Are the decentralized administrations going to support the education services delivery with own resources? If yes, how much should the central government transfer to support their own resources? Will there be specific purpose grants from the central government for specific program? etc. etc.
  
  I believe we need to critically look at sustainable financing of the new system that will ensure smooth delivery of educations services to our people.

  This is nonsensical to say the least. These folks are misusing politics as a reason to continue in their age old sloth, bribery, and incompetence. When has politics not been part of the educational discourse and delivery in Ghana. They should put on their thinking heads and speak like people who have the wellbeing and future of Ghana at heart.
