Ghana must commend this 2019 candidates for studying harder and performing better. The teachers who worked hard to produce this fruit also deserve some appreciation. However, any "serious tertiary institution" must organise entrance exams for these students before admitting them.

Pass a bill to Regulate ‘Pragia' Operations - parliament told

Pass a bill to Regulate ‘Pragia' Operations - parliament told

  Assembly member of Besease-Jamasi in the Ejisu Municipal, Mr Samuel Danquah known popularly as SS has articulated that parliament must review the RTR Act, amend it in order for the motorized tricycles to operate.

The operations of tricycles by names, 'Pragia' and 'Aboboyaa' undoubtedly have vastly increased in the country.

Their services seem to help many people for the effective run of their businesses. 

Many people benefit from it by means of transporting them to work places and areas of their comfort zones.

The riders use it to collect waste from various homes to make sure the environment is sanitized.

They carry other businesses necessary for the people of Ghana.

"Ghanaians have undoubtedly embraced their works".

Albeit, the Road Traffic Regulations 2012, L.I. 2180, Section 128 transparently prohibits the use of motorised tricycle for commercial purpose.

Mr SS Danquah believes that the bill must be reviewed in order to pave way for the legal operations of the motorised tricycles.

The bill should give authority to Assembly members of the country to monitor the activities of the operators.

"This will deter operators who infringe upon traffic lights and many other road offences".

He stressed that the bill must be implemented to proscribe under-age operators. 

Persons under age 20 must not be allowed to use the tricycles.

PROVIDE ALL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS TO MAKE THE NEW CURRICULUM MORE USEFUL-Educate Ghana Summit Boss

 The Research and Analysis team for Educate Ghana Summit has suggested that, implementation of the New Curriculum by GES in next academic year must come with all educational needs to make the new curriculum more useful. 

Mr. Boadi William therefore, stated that, the new curriculum may turn to be a mirage if the necessary teaching and learning materials are not in existence. The outstanding Educationist said this on 11th of July 2019 when talking on midday news on Eastern FM, Koforidua. 

He outlined the following reasons; 

1. Lack of Teaching and Learning Materials:

Sadly, 'Ama Ghana' is 62 years old but most schools in Ghana lack teaching and learning materials(audio/visual) and serene environment that supposed to enhance effective education. 

Many schools don't have access to internet and computers but they are learning Information and Communication Technology. 

2. Lack of Infrastructure:

There are still some schools under trees and in dilapidated structures.

Many schools also lack furniture.  

Akim Akokoaso SECTECH in the Ofoase Ayirebi constituency, Eastern Region, is a typical example. They lack desks and modern science laboratory. 

3. The Teachers who are the pivot in terms of education are still crying for better conditions of service. Psychologically, they are not morally motivated to deliver very well in the classrooms. They need better treatment. 

Besides, the concentration should not be on those in the cities and towns alone. Because, at the end of the day, those in both the city schools and villages are going to write the same exams.

On the more serious note, our culture as a country is weighty and we must not compromise.  We need not be in haste to implement any educational policy that may not stand the test of time.

MATTERS ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGES

MATTERS ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGES:
The Methodist Church of Ghana, has disassociated itself from a recent decision by its British counterparts to embrace same-sex marriages.

Speaking at a press conference, Presiding Bishop, Most Rev. Dr. Paul Boafo said the Church in Ghana is independent of the British and not bound by the decision taken at a conference in Birmingham.

“I want to state with some emphasis and also do so in no ambiguous terms that the Methodist Church Ghana is an autonomous conference with its own leadership.
“We have been independent of the British Methodist conference since 1961, however, historically, we have maintained the working relationship with the British Conference as the mother church that gave birth to the Methodist church Ghana,” he added.

Most Rev. Dr. Baofo noted it is for this reason that the leadership of the Methodist Church Ghana and that of the British participate in each other’s conferences and activities.

This heritage is shared with the Methodist Churches in other parts of West Africa including, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, the Gambia, Republic of Benin and several others.

This historical relationship notwithstanding, being autonomous, the Methodist Church Ghana is not bound by the decisions of the British nor any other conference anywhere, the Bishop stressed.

He added: “We are very aware of our Wesleyan heritage and what it entails and as an autonomous conference, we resolve to defend tenaciously the Biblical faith that was once delivered unto the saints especially as it affects, all areas of human life and our relationship with God in Christ Jesus.
