  • KKK 11 years ago

    THIS SHOWS THE MINISTER HAS NOTHING TO OFFER. TEACHERS NEED RETRAINING, RE-ORIENTATION AND MOTIVATION. NOT TO MENTION RE-EQUIPING. How much of that has been touched/provided by the minister? Better shoot teachers who dont/can ...

  • A MATHEMATICIAN 11 years ago

    The minister does not know simple calculations. 7 200 divided by 300 = 36 and not 24. As it stands 3600 of the computers have disappeared and unaccounted for. What on earth can NDC do right without stealing or corruption? Gha ...
