The Tamale Metropolis [reported] has, for seven years, been performing poorly at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
In 2004 the Metropolis was 60th on the BECE league table in the country and in 2005 and 2006 it wase the 69th and 88th respectively, while in 2007 and 2008 it placed 91st and 89th respectively.
For 2009 and 2010 it had the unenviable record of being placed as the 98th and 103rd on the BECE league table.
Alhaji Abudulai Haruna Friday, the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, said this at a Town Hall Meeting in Tamale on Thursday to throw light on the achievements and challenges facing the Assembly during its two years in Office.
Alhaji Friday attributed the abysmal performance of the Metropolis in the BECE to among other things to inadequate funds to ensure effective monitoring and supervision that had resulted in teachers' lateness or absenteeism and indiscipline on the part of students. more>>

Reading through this, backed with my experience in the North as a teacher. I believe strongly that, we can do much more better as a country if we start looking seriously at alternate teaching methods like the use of ICT tools to compliment teachers work.
As it were, we stand to loose nothing with our 'trailers advantage'. A good number of countries have gone on this path and ours is to simply learn from their mistakes and bingo we are in for a change. Sorry to our brothers and sisters who could not make much impact, they should however not loose hope. After all, education has not and is still not a one time race
Yes! Finally something about pool designs.
