As immediate past Minister for Education, I believe it is important to clarify a number of issues pertaining to the story doing the media rounds regarding a World Bank project on teacher training thus;
1. Under my watch as Education Minister, the Ghana Education Service (GES) did not undertake the Teacher training component of GALOP to warrant our claim for the said $1.2m from World Bank.
2. The Digital Teacher Training under the KATechnology Teacher Laptop Program must not under any circumstances be confused with the GALOP Teacher Digital Literacy training program under National Teachers Council. KAT digital training isn’t a substitute for GALOP training. These are two different training programs.
3. As Education Minister I negotiated both programs and know that they are not the same.
I trust that this clarifies the matter.

Mr Minister God bless you for your intervention. As to why Honorable Apaak who claims so much interest in education cannot seek clarifications from the MOE or even activate the RTI bill for information to ascertain the truth or otherwise of these publications but rather choose his usual partisanship to call for probe. Interesting times indeed
