NDK Financial Services holds 25th Anniversary lecture, launches CSR Foundation
 The Vice Chancellor of University of Ghana, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey has called for the reform of the Ghana Education Service (GES), saying it is in order to move Ghana’s education sector forward.

According to him, this can only be achieved if government allows for wider public debate or discussion into restructuring of the GES to make the education system work effectively.
 “It’s time we Ghanaians debate the structure and the functions of the GES to move the system forward”. “We have to reform the GES, there’s no reason today why the school boss can’t take basic decisions on teachers, there’s absolutely no reason why he cannot take basic decision on the pupils or students”.

 “There has to be a forum for us Ghanaians to debate the issues. It should not be a prerogative of a small number of people at the Ministry of Education or parliament to decide that for us. Our children are the future so it is not the Ministry of Education or Parliament or anybody. It’s for us Ghanaians to discuss those issues” he stressed.

Prof. Ernest Aryeetey made the call whiles delivering a lecture on the theme: “The Politics of Educational Reforms in Ghana” to mark the 25th Anniversary celebration and a launch of the CSR foundation of NDK Financial Services Limited in Accra on July 21, 2016.

NDK financial Services Limited, a leading non-banking financial service provider in Ghana has launched its Corporate Social Responsibility Foundation aimed at aiding and promoting sports, health and education in the country.

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...
