    This guy is disoriented. He has not matured from UST days. Also he wasted his years in the US because he could not learn anything about the education system and their funding. Kofi should verify state university school fee ...

    Indeed this Kofi Jumah does not know what goes on elsewhere. Even in the US, whenever economic situations are tough, budgets are scaled back. Education is not exempted. Sometimes, even the Universities cut back on programs. N ...

    Why spend funds on producing too many illiterate graduates - with no skills and even the basic knowledge of their fields of study. The govermnent must drastically TRIM the number or programs/courses at the universities.

  • moyo 9 years ago

    This is a man calling for students to revolt govt policy but lacks the idea to support his arguments with facts. Kofi is a proper illiterate who will never contribute anything good to public life except making baby suggestion ...

    The teacher trainee allowance is/was not meant as a sustenance to teachers but a sustenance while being trained. A trainee is not a trained teacher. Neither was it meant particularly for those posted to rural areas. How coul ...

    Kofi does not know the history of Ghana education. Whe Takoradi Sec Tech was located in Accra, the students received allowances. My uncle was one of them. University students used to receive allowances up to the 70's. I w ...

  • Isaac Kusi, Bronx, NY. 9 years ago

    This man is trying to get some attention. All you can think of is sell already created companies and institutions. Your old formula is not working. In the 70's, the opposition formula was to incite student unrest during the ...

    Exactly what does Kofi Jumah mean by "economical fees"? The prevalent market prices/fees as, say, the private universities are charging or prices/fees that will keep the public universities in operation without falling on gov ...

    What has trainee allowances got to do with teachers who have completed their courses and posted to teach in rural areas? Too much politics clouds our thinking.

  • PAA NII 9 years ago

    For sometime now a critical analysis of any issue raised by Kofi Jumah tends out to be part of the general scheme by the NPP to set the agenda for the people of Ghana to hate the current Administration especially the youth an ...

    Kofi Jumah should not be jumping around making all kinds of statements today because they are in opposition, so want to make the ruling unpopular necessarily or not. The NPP will one day come back to power, and if the rubbish ...
