Ministry of Education has held a thanksgiving service to commemorate the working days in the year 2023.
The maiden program was meant to thank God for the lives of the staff and management of the Ministry of Education for the past year and to seek the face of God for the new administrative year in 2023.
The event welcomed various agencies under the Ministry of Education, allied institutions, well-wishers, and development partners in the country.
The theme for the maiden edition of the thanksgiving service was ‘Restructuring Education For National Transformation: Our Role’ and a bible quotation was taken from Isaiah 33:6 to elaborate more on the theme for the event.
Word of exhortation was delivered by the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye who admonished Ghanaians to always thank God for the continuous peace reigning in the nation.
Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum urged the staff of the Ministry to continue working hard to transform the education sector.
Moreover, the Education Minister assured the nation of his preparedness to continue implementing what he described as “common sense transformation” which is geared towards getting the best for the nation.
The Registrar of the National Teaching Council (NTC), Dr. Christian Addai Poku, on behalf of the Agency Heads, expressed their gratitude to Dr. Adutwum for the strategic direction he is taking to push the sector towards the good of the nation.
He described the Minister’s vision as apt since it was in line with what the nation was driving at for the transformation of the economy.
“You are indeed a transformational leader whose vision cannot be doubted if it comes to what can shape the fortunes of this country towards training creative thinking and assertive minds for the development of the country”. Dr. Addai Poku said.
“On behalf of the Agency Heads, we pledge our support towards making Ghana the hub of education in the sub-region”.
