Accra, 06 December, 2019 / 3:00 am (ACI Africa).
The Association of Catholic Heads of Higher Institutions (ACHHI) in Ghana, at its 39th Annual National Conference, has expressed the need to prioritize discipline in the system of education in the West African nation and urged stakeholders in the education sector to, alongside discipline, promote dialogue in addressing students’ concerns.
“Quality education cannot exist if its basic complement, discipline, is not given its rightful place in our educational system,” reads part of a communique by ACHHI availed to ACI Africa.
“If we fail to pay attention to discipline and quality, we will end up with ‘quantity education’ which in no time would bring the whole of our educational system crushing down and eventually spell doom for our country,” the heads of the Catholic institutions in Ghana cautioned in their statement signed by their President, Fr. Nicholas Kwame Apetorgbor.
The members of ACHHI gathered at St. Francis Xavier Minor Seminary Senior High School in the Upper West Region of north Ghana under the theme, “Ensuring Discipline and Quality Education in the Era of Free SHS (Free Senior High School) Education in Ghana: The Role of Stakeholders.”
