You dare not close down schools – Mahama tells Education Minister


Former President, John Dramani Mahama has asked the Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum not to shut down any school in the country. 

According to him, the ultimate responsibility of the Minister is to help students to achieve better results and not shut their schools down.

Mr. Mahama thus asked the Minister to resign if he does not have any solutions to the country’s educational problems. 

“Help them achieve better results and provide better education for the children, but don’t you dare close schools. The Minister for Education should resign if his only solution to a problem is to close schools,” he said.

Addressing branch executives of NDC earlier on Sunday, March 19, at Adudwama in the Ahafo Ano South East Constituency, the former President said the Minister does not have any power to close down schools.

The Bosomtwe lawmaker said in such a situation, the affected students would be redistributed to other nearby schools, so they could continue their education.
