Former Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central, Sheikh I.C Quaye has prompted stakeholders to formulate attainable educational policies to ensure that the youth derive maximum benefit from the country's educational sector.
He said policy makers must act to set clear objectives for the sector because an education system without a definite focus could affect young people in subsequent years.
'A system of education without clearly defined targets and purpose will only serve to confuse the future generation. We have to be careful that our youth are taught with proper learning materials in an effective manner to ensure they are actually learning rather than simply becoming conduits of data,' I.C Quaye stated.
I.C. Quaye was speaking at a public lecture as part of events marking the 75th anniversary of Odorgonno Senior High School in Accra quality education was crucial towards social development therefore essential tools must be provided for its effective delivery.
According to the former MP who had 15 years experience in Parliament, there cannot be meaningful progress if the country is immersed in corrupt practices.
He advocates a free society which dwells on the principles of equality in the distribution of national resources.
Shiekh I.C Quaye also seized the opportunity to condemn the recurring spate of terrorism in some parts of Africa and the world as a whole.
He condemned suicide bombing, kidnapping and other forms of heinous attacks which he claimed had no links with Islam and therefore charged religious leaders to continue to propagate the values of tolerance, love, and compassion as true values of the Islamic region.
'In Islam, killing a human is an act that is equal in gravity to not believing in God. No person can kill a human being. No one can touch an innocent person even in time of war,' he said.
The former Parliamentarian, who was an old student of Odorgonno School encouraged young students to be bold in pursing truth in all endeavors as they grow to become responsible adults in society.
He praised the contribution of previous governments in upgrading the infrastructure of his alma mater.
Dr. Mrs. Shine Ofori, Headmistress of Odogonor Senior High School, recounting progress made by the school, called for further assistance from parents and old student associations ahead of the anniversary celebrations.
