According to him, teaching
is an essential component in nation-building all over the world, hence the
strongest need to support teachers to deliver on their mandates at all times.
In this regard, he has
assured of government’s continuous efforts to contribute to improve the lives
of teachers in order to help them to positively transfer knowledge to students.
“You are a great asset to
our nation, and I assure you that my government will not let you down,” Napo
assured teachers.

during the 11th Congregation for the 2018 Diploma in Basic Education (DBE)
Graduands of the St. Monica’s College of Education, Mampong, in the Ashanti
Region on Saturday.
According to the minister,
the various reforms currently ongoing in the educational sector were meant to
improve quality teaching and learning in the country.
“Government’s reforms in
teacher education form part of a wider scope of reforms at all levels to ensure
that our education delivery system meets the needs of a modern 21st century
