Rev Father Peter Otoo, Regional Manager of Anglican Schools in the Eastern Region, has said quality education must produce 
students relevant to the needs of the country.
He said quality education must transform students to benefit the nation in its socio-economic development.
Rev Fr Otoo gave the advice at the celebration of the 70 anniversary of the St Matthew Anglican Church at Amaakrom, a suburb of Adeiso.
He said stakeholders: “parents, teachers, the government, communities, students, the church and the director generals to circuit supervisors of education must be up and play their responsible roles.”
He said several students have completed Senior High Schools and universities and yet cannot fit into society because what they studied was not relevant to the job market.
Rev Fr Otoo said: Compulsory education, where students are about 60 to 80 in a classroom, under the care of only one teacher is an eyesore; where teachers and students lack materials for teaching and learning; and where education management lacks the resources for proper supervision and control are unproductive.”
He said what students have acquired after their education should be practical and relevant in solving their personal, societal and national problems and with proper quality education the nation would not remain a poor country.
