Education in the Upper West Region especially at the basic level, for some time now, has taken a nose dive. The past few years have seen various key stakeholders host at several fora to brainstorm and find an antidote to this decline.
The lack of supervision was highlighted as one of the reasons for the falling standards of education in the region as circuit supervisors were accused of dereliction of duty.
They, however, blamed the lack of transport for their inability to play supervisory roles efficiently. Following this concern.
Against this backdrop, government has donated 85 motorbikes for all 11 municipal and district in the region.
Regional Minister, Dr Hafiz Bin Salih who donated the motorbikes on behalf of the government to the upper west directorate of the Ghana education service to be handed to the circuit supervisors spoke of the government's commitment to ensuring that teachers get the logistics that they need in their line of duty.
Dr Bin Salih urged the circuit supervisors to use the motorbikes for the purpose for which they were given so as to enhance their work.
Acting Upper West Regional Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Godfred Dongeruu noted the provision of the 85 motorbikes with each of them accompanied by two crash helmets will go a long away to change the tide in the region. .one of the circuit supervisors, Mark Donald speaking on behalf of his colleagues was grateful to government coming to their aid.
