Kumasi, July 19, GNA – Mr Joseph Kwabena Onyinah, Ashanti Regional Director of Education, has invited stakeholders to share in the responsibility of helping to improve the quality of the nation's education.

He was speaking at the inauguration of an-11 member Board of Governors for Saint Francis Educational Centre at Bomso in Kumasi, which he chairs.

Mr Onyinah said the crucial role of education in socio-economic progress is not in dispute and that is why more resources should be pumped into its development.

Additionally members would make sure that its finances are properly managed.

Mr Onyinah said the vision of the Board is to make the school one of the best and result-oriented in the country.

He encouraged the teachers to show love and passion for the job and do away with negative practices that are likely to affect the performance of the students.
