The Principal of the Ashley’s Business College in Accra, Mr Charles Ashley, has commended the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma Central, Mr Theoplious Tetteh Chaie, for his role in ensuring quality education in the area.
He appealed to the Parliament to review the law establishing the GETFund so that private educational institutions would also benefit from the Fund.
Mr Ashley said this when the Mr Chaie donated one computer with accessories at the cost of GHc 2,100 to the School to support their Information Communication Technology (ICT) programmes.
He said if the government would resource private educational institutions just as it does for public schools, most of the nation’s educational problems might be solved as more private institutions would spread across the country.
Mr Ashley said it would also enable the private institutions to have access to good infrastructure for quality education so that pupils who could not get admission into government schools would enter the private ones.
He said the College was committed to the provision of quality business education to enable it to contribute to national development.
“We have acquired 20 acres of land at Nyanyano near Kasoa to be developed to reduce the problem of accommodation among students”, he said.
Mr Ashley said the College runs professional programmes like Commerce, Human Relation, auditing, Taxation, Economics, cost Accounting and Social Studies.
Mr Chaie said education was everyone’s responsibility and since he was committed to ensuring quality education in his constituency, he would not be complacent but would work hard to improve infrastructure of both the private and public schools.
