Discipline, patriotism lost in education curricular – Bagbin
Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin Listen to article
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has stated that the country appears to have lost its basic values and principles in the education sector.
In his view, issues of discipline, patriotism and ethics, which are the building blocks of every country’s development, no longer find space in education curricular.
Addressing Members of Parliament (MPs) during the business of the House on Tuesday, the Speaker said these issues required a “deep look” by the Ministry of Education to address the challenge.
“It is my expectation that in the years to come the Committee of Parliament on Education will be in the position to report to the House as to how Ghana can surmount the menace of bushfires and improve on, particularly the curricular of education in this country.
Bawumia’s intervention on Public Universities Bill insincere - Clement Apaak
Deputy Ranking Member on the Education Committee of Parliament Dr. Clement Apaak has described Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as insincere.
The legislator says the supposed meeting between the Vice President and some stakeholders in the education sector over the Public University Bill (PUB) passage is insincere.
He indicated that the second gentleman of the land should not behave as if he knew nothing about the bill because he was part of the government and cabinet meetings that gave the bill approval before it was brought to parliament.
He said the Vice President has been part of the processes that saw the bill brought before parliament hence cannot pretend he knew nothing about it.

The suspension will also allow UTAG and the stakeholders such as the Students Representative Council (SRC) to assess whether the previous inputs they made into the Bill had been incorporated or not.
They are to submit their concerns to the Education Committee of Parliament by Tuesday, December 22, 2020 after which the Bill will be considered at the Plenary prior to its passage.
