KENNEDY AGYAPONG, the Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) has ranked the Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the Best Performing Minister in the country, currently.

According to him, the Education Ministry was constantly hit by series of teacher demonstrations in the past but the current Education Minister, nicknamed as ‘Napo’, has been able to weathered the storm, so far.

Kennedy Agyapong, who was speaking on Good Evening Ghana programme aired on Metro TV, stated that the ease at which Napo has been able to stop the teacher demonstrations shows he is a true leader.

“The Education Ministry is a controversial ministry so for Napo to have survived without demonstrations shows that he is good”, Kennedy Agyapong said in response to who is the best minister in the country now.

According to him, aside his good works at the Education Ministry, Napo is also the toast of NPP members, especially the grassroot party people across the 275 constituencies in the country.

Kennedy Agyapong, who is an outspoken politician, stated that the party people have been speaking positively about Napo’s positive human relations and his willingness to always extend a helping hand to them.

“Honestly, wherever I go, the party people say Napo, they say he is the best performing minister”, Kennedy Agyapong disclosed and added that as a democrat, he always believes in majority decision.

He also acknowledged Napo’s kind heart and support to the party people, saying “the party people also said he respects and takes good care of them”, adding “for me and the party people he is the best”.

Napo recently announced the country has reached a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Cuba for teachers from the two countries to engage in exchange programmes for training purposes.

The selected teachers that would benefit for the educative programme, and travel from Ghana to Cuba would be taught subjects like Special Needs Education and Early Grade Teaching.

Also, Cuba, would be sending teachers to Ghana to also transfer knowledge to teachers, as part of the agreement.

The Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka ‘Napo’, has played a leading role to help secure this positive arrangement to improve the efficiency of teachers.

The Ghana Education Minister said “As I said, I want the Ghana Embassy in Cuba to immediately engage your office as part of our treaty of cooperation agreement.

“These two areas are key, bringing Ghanaian teachers to be trained and sending Cubans to train our teachers. In Ghana, we have schools that train teachers and schools that need teachers”.

Napo is presently with a powerful delegation from his ministry in Cuba, attending the 12th International Congress on Higher Education on behalf of Ghana.
