THE Western Regional Minister, Mr Paul Evans Aidoo, has stated that educational infrastructure and learning facilities in the region will be expanded to improve academic standards in the region.
He said the academic standard of the region was not encouraging and that the region was lagging behind in educational development.
Mr Aidoo said this when the National Imam of the Ahlus Sunna Wal Jama’a, a Muslim sect, Sheikh Umar Ibrahim Imam, called on him in Sekondi.
He said the educational units of the various churches in the region would be taken on board to ensure that all the children who had reached school age were enrolled and that the region’s academic standard had been improved.
The regional minister stressed that education thrived where there was peace, adding that the region had been peaceful in spite of few minor chieftaincy disputes in some areas.
He appealed to the Muslim community to help promote quality education in the region.
Sheikh Umar Ibrahim Imam said the Islamic Educational Unit was collaborating with the government to develop education for the Muslim child.
He noted with regret that the Islamic Educational Unit had been established but the Muslims were not taking advantage of the unit.
