Speaking to Hon.  Thomas Nsiah Yaw, the Assembly Member for Broniasua electoral area in the Dormaa Municipality in an interview on High Radio Morning Show dubbed High Morning Breeze, the assembly member whose electoral area is much affected and close to the cemetery confirmed that they started experiencing some bad scent some two weeks ago indicating that the scent was reported to have come from the cemetery which for some time now has been closed to the inhabitants of the area as a result of continuous entombment of corpses.

He noted that he went to the cemetery and has seen about  10 to 15 graves being open with the mission for the unfortunate incident unknown.

He added that he has officially reported the case to the presiding member of the Assembly for further actions to be taken.

The Assembly member explained that similar incidents occurred in the same Cemetery about 2 years ago which took the intervention of Nananom, the Assembly, and other stakeholders to put a stop to the unpleasant situation adding that the current reasons behind the breaking of some tombs are not known hence the leaders of the assembly will ensure due diligence to arrest the perpetrators because they are putting human life in danger as they continue to breathe in the bad odor of the smelling corpse from the opened tombs.

On the Security issues of the cemetery, Hon. Thomas explained that the security guard at the cemetery kicked the bucket about two years ago and it has been extremely difficult to replace him since all efforts to get a new cemetery guide by Nananom and the assembly have proven futile. He said the assembly is still on talking terms with some people to ensure they get someone to guard the cemetery to prevent these nation wreckers from causing harm to people's tombs which keeps affecting the health of the living.

The Assembly member blamed the unfortunate happenings on  scrap dealers indicating that they have taken over the cemetery and the entire Dormaa township removing iron rods from buildings and the tombs and other metallic objects.

Closure of Non-Performing Schools: Education minister is running away from his responsibilities - Educationist

 

The Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has challenged the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) and Principals of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institutions to improve their educational outcomes or stand the risk of having their institutions closed down.

 

The Minister explained that closing down the schools would help save the nation from the huge financial losses being incurred by the government as a result of the existence of the schools so that the affected students would be redistributed to other nearby schools, so they could continue their education.

 

Responding to this in an interview on High Radio Morning Show, Mr. William Boadi, the Chief Executive officer of Educate Africa Institute an education think Tank has said the decision by the education minister implies he is running from responsibilities entrusted to him as a minister in charge of education.

 

He said the minister's assertions depict his unreadiness to handle the ministry of education because they are there to provide solutions but not to create problems. After all, immediately a school is closed down due to its inability to perform, it creates a great vacuum which will be a problem to the nation indicating that it may prevent a lot of people from accessing education.

 

He emphasized that the education minister's decision to close down school over non-performance signifies he is running away from his duties because he must accept blames together with the Ghana Education service to fix the problems leading to the Non-Performance of these schools rather than closing them down.

He added that to prevent subjecting to grades to failure of students, the ministry must focus on identifying of God-Giving talents of most students who cannot depend on writing and reading to make decisions in schools, stressing that the ministry must support some of these students discover and manage their talent to be able to achieve the best out of them.

He pleaded with school authorities to teach students how to use mobile phones to enrich their learning abilities rather than allowing them to focus on watching materials on their phones that have nothing to do with education.
