Eyifua (C/R) Dec.7, GNA - Mr John K. Quaicoo, Central Regional chairman of Ghana National Association of teachers (GNAT), on Friday advocated a review of the country's educational reforms.
He observed that after a long period of its implementation, most of the problems that precipitated the reforms, were "still visible in our system".
Mr Quaicoo, was addressing the opening session of a three-day trainers' workshop for 35 Junior Secondary School (JSS) technical teachers drawn from the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam district at the GNAT hall at Eyifua, a suburb of Cape Coast.
The workshop, organised by GNAT in conjunction with the Consultative Council of Teachers Association (CCTA), was aimed at exposing the participants to the new JSS syllabus.
According to Mr Quaico, the country would continue to experience poor quality education if the government kept on allocating more educational resources to educational institutions in the urban areas than those in the rural areas.
"The gap has become even wider while the popular school workshops as a means of reducing unemployment among the youth, through apprenticeship have become a mirage" he regretted.
Mr Quaicoo, asked the participants to take the workshop seriously and to impart the knowledge they would acquire to their colleagues who did not take part in the programme.
