Veep Calls For More Church Support For Schools |
| The Vice-President noted that the government had already put in place several policies aimed at creating an enhanced environment for the development of children through a multi-sectoral approach. |
He commended the leaders of the SDA Church for showing commitment to government-private sector partnership, as well as contributing to the provision of technological solutions to the educational needs of Ghanaians.
A Minister of State in the Office of the President, Mr Yaw Barimah, said the world’s labour market was becoming technology-based, adding that for a country to be competitive, it was critical that its youth were equipped with the needed skills to enable them to function effectively.
The President of the South Ghana Conference of the SDA, Pastor Anthony Kessie, in a sermon, said the desire of the church was to expose children to broad academic training that would make them responsible citizens and also help to reduce poverty, crime and other social vices.
“Our vision as a church is to provide good quality education through well-trained and highly motivated teachers, as well as create a conducive environment to achieve excellent results,” he said.
Pastor Kessie added that quality education must not be seen as a privilege enjoyed by only the fortunate in society but a right that was essential for the development of every human being.
The Pastor in charge of the Labone SDA Church, Pastor Nathan Teye Odonkor, expressed gratitude to God for enabling the establishment and development of the church.
The occasion was used to inaugurate the Labone SDA School Science and Technical Resource Centre.
