Education Minister unveils new uniforms for basic schools
The Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwum, has rolled out a new set of uniforms for basic school students as part of an initiative to rebrand public education.
According to him, this is part of the rebranding efforts by the Education Ministry to enhance the image of public schools.
He made this announcement during an unveiling ceremony presentation at the University of Professional Studies, Accra.
Dr Adutwum said “You see, you don’t see brown and yellow, we are rebranding public schools. No brown and yellow, blue and white, and we are changing the uniforms too. This is President Akufo-Addo and Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia’s Ghana.
“We have begun the transformation. There’s no reason why we should not. Ghana deserves better, and we’re going to give them better, something that we can all be proud of.
Contrary to critics who say he has abandoned basic schools, Dr Adutwum insists this isn’t the case. He envisions a day when parents will beg to enroll their children in basic public schools because he is setting things right.
“So they will say, we will give you credit, you have done well with Senior High School, but you have abandoned basic schools, children are sitting under trees and you talking about drones.
