The Deputy Ranking of Parliament's Education Committee has disclosed that there are agitations from some lecturers seeking to propose an entrance exam module for students enrolling under the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
“The Free Senior High School has led to an increase in enrollment but with poor learning outcomes, I think that is very significant. It is largely because of that component of poor learning outcomes that justifies the call by John Mahama and the likes of Prof Ayettey, Prof Addae-Mensah, Kofi Asare of Education Watch, and Dr Partey of the Institute of Educational Studies. Are we getting value for money and the answer is no,” he said.
Immunologist Dr Yaw Bediako has dismissed claims by a former Provost of the College of Health Sciences of the University of Ghana, Rev. Emeritus Prof. Andrews Seth Ayettey, that hydrogen peroxide works in the prevention of coronavirus.
There s no proof Hydrogen Peroxide prevents, treats COVID – GMA warns LISTEN
FEB 5, 2021
The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has said some recently published observational studies within and outside the country suggesting the use of Hydrogen peroxide for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19, do not constitute enough proof.
The GMA has, therefore, urged Ghanaians to continue to adhere to all the COVID-19 safety protocols while the world awaits proof of the use of Hydrogen peroxide to prevent or treat the deadly virus.
In a statement co-signed by its President, Dr Frank Ankobea; and General Secretary, Dr Justice Yankson, the GMA said its attention “has been drawn to recent media publications on the use of hydrogen peroxide to prevent COVID-19, which has led to panic buying and shortages of the product from pharmacy outlets.”
