Adult Education must be encouraged - Educationist

The Principal of Jackson Education College in Kumasi has called for a holistic approach to adult literacy education to address poverty, inequality, economic and social disempowerment.

Theodocia Jackson said adult education could help promote active citizenship and peace in democratic societies.

She added that it could be an important intervention mechanism in addressing social and political challenges.
The educationist made the comment during the college’s fifth graduation in the Ashanti regional capital Kumasi.

This year’s congregation saw 2,334 newly trained teachers successfully graduating and were meritoriously awarded diploma certificates.

She revealed that Jackson’s College of Education (JCE) as the first private teacher training college in Ghana is spearheading private distant learning diploma programme in basic education.

Mrs. Jackson said the school is opened to all, including farmers and market women who want to further their education.

She said some opportunities available to students of the college include access to Student Loan Trust Fund, Scholarship Scheme by the Jackson Foundation, opportunity to do National Service and Ghana Education Service postings.

The Principal announced that, in line with her objective of training good human resource base for the country, the College has introduced French Education and Early Childhood Education for the 2017/2018 academic year.

The introduction of French education is in conformance with the government’s intended policy of making the study of French compulsory in basic schools

Mrs. Jackson appealed to government to prioritise developing the education sector given its critical role in the socio-economic progress of the society.
