Be realistic about potential failures, sustainability issues of free SHS-Prof. Alabi to gov't


The Dean of the Centre for International Education and Collaboration at the university of Professional Studies, Accra, Professor Goski Alabi has urged government to be more realistic about issues of sustainability as well as the potential failure of the free SHS policy.

According to her, the free SHS policy being implemented by government is not  a short term measure therefore it requires the requisite analysis to evoke understanding about the potential failures and issues of sustainability that may arise with the aim of developing protective measures in place to arrest the situation.

"We're all aware the start of the program wasn't easy as there were lots of speculations about the fact that where to get the money from was not clear".

"We don't need to behave as if all is well when in actual fact we're not too sure about where the money is gonna come for sustainability so it is important in as much as we embrace it as a good policy that has to be supported".

She also warned government to be careful not to compromise on quality of secondary education in Ghana while implementing the free SHS policy.

The eminent academician cum  entrepreneur made these observations in an interview with the media on the sideline of  a book launch held at the Association of African Universities (AAU) at East Legon in Accra on September 20 2017.


The 400 paged book, titled “Managing for Excellence in the Twenty-First Century - The Total Quality Approach” was authored by Professor Goski Alabi herself.

The book, a masterpiece of total quality management(TQM) delves deeply into how we can ensure sustainable development in Africa and in Ghana including how we can enhance effectiveness and efficiency to ensure that we're competitive.

It provides an in depth answers to questions such as why African development is slow? What total quality management is all about? Who is responsible for implementing TQM and How can TQM facilitate Africans transformation into a first world city.

" We in Africa needs to understand that anything that competes with us is an enemy and the competitor has to be overcome." "It is time for us rise and collectively work against overcoming what competes with the quality of the life of people in Ghana".

The Professor in Total Quality Management, Goski Alabi explained.

According to renowned Professor, she was motivated to see excellence in every aspect of life particularly the fact that 'we're so blessed with lots of human and natural resources and yet we aren't as developed as other developed countries are".

She strongly believes Ghanaians can do it if Singapore and Malaysia who started around the same time as Ghana started has done it and " we believe it's time for the youth of Africa to completely change our mindset in the trajectories that we've been moving to ensure we do things right at the right time and in the right places to ensure that the transformation that the agenda 2016 talks about to the African people is achieved".

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world. In the last century for instance, the world has been hit by six (6) different kinds of epidemics with devastating results on its economy, people’s health and social conditions. Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
