Cape Coast, April 1, GNA – The Executive Secretary of the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE), Mr Paul Effah has urged newly trained teachers to accept postings to any part of the country to justify the resources invested in them by the state. Mr Effah who was addressing the second congregation of the OLA College of Education at Cape Coast, urged the graduates to offer their best towards improving upon the standards of education. In all a total of 350 students graduated. He said the upgrading of teacher training institutions to tertiary status was part of efforts to lay a proper foundation for the country’s new educational system.
Mr Effah urged them to teach their students to be creative, innovative and inculcate “self-study” in them while they should be hard working, dedicated and disciplined. The Principal of the College, Reverend Sister Elisabeth Amoako-Arhen urged the graduates to utilize their experience profitably to back the implementation of the educational reforms. She urged them to be worthy ambassadors of the College by exhibiting high sense of professionalism and also further upgrade themselves. 1 April 09
