The Minister of State for Tertiary Education, Professor Kwesi Yankah, has expressed dissatisfaction with the persistent change in educational policies anytime there is a change in government.

According to him, the frequency at which political leaders alter educational policies without any scientific basis, is a major contributory factor to the poor result outcomes recorded annually in the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

He has, therefore, called for some measures to ensure that educational interventions that promote positive outcomes are consolidated and insulated from the hands of politicians.

Prof. Yankah, who was speaking at the ongoing National Education Week (NEW), celebration said once policies are allowed to run their full course, it would reveal the weaknesses that would help policy makers to make informed changes.
