Komenda College of Education holds 7 congregation 


Government is calling on the Ghana Education Service, GES, to announce vacancies in their schools to help deal with the gap between teacher student ratios in the country's educational system. 

This call was made by the minister of Education, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang when she addressed the congregants at the 7th Congregation of the Komenda College of education. 

The congregation saw the Bishop of the Cape Coast Diocese of the Methodist Church, Right Reverend Ebenezer Abaka-Wilson, the director at the institute of education, UCC, Professor Frederick Ocansey, traditional leaders, state officials, old students, and parents.
 
Prof. Naana Opoku Agyemang disclosed that posting of teachers have been affected in many ways that have resulted in overstaffing in some areas and gross understaffing in others. 

She said the education ministry has taken a very serious view to that and is therefore requesting the GES to declare vacancies for prospective applicants. 

In a welcome address, the Bishop of Cape Coast Diocese of the Methodist Church, Rt. Reverend Abaka-Wilson charged the graduates to use the training received from the college to affect communities and effect positive changes in their schools and the country in general. 

He said the Methodist church of Ghana will continue to actively use education as an evangelism and development tool. 

For her part, the Principal of Komenda College of Education, Mrs. Comfort Sarpong Akosa, commended the 2014 graduating class saying this is the best performance so far for the college and hoped it will improve in the ensuing years. 

She said the college has used its internally generated funds to put up a two storey women's hall of residency, refurbish staff bungalow and administration block among others but disclosed that projects started during the late Prof. Atta Mills era such as the auditorium and new administration block have been left unattended by contractors all due to funding. 

In all a total of 260 students graduated with Diploma in Basic Education certificates with Mr. Nathaniel Annan Abban as the overall best student with a GPA of 3.7. 

Later the Minister of Education donated stationery items to the Komenda M/A Primary A and B School.
