THE NEW RISING SUN UPDATES: 2013-09-06 A CALL FOR A NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION The state of education in Sierra Leone needs a serious rethinking. The rethinking should seriously take into consideration the expressed views of Sierra Leoneans on what they have termed as “the appalling state of education in the country.” The incessant cries about the poor standard and quality of education have come from all shades of opinion. Employers are concerned about the quality and output of some of our graduates; lecturers ask what secondary schools some of their students attended; parents and guardians ask who are the teachers and lecturers in schools and colleges; students and pupils either complain about the competence, commitment and/or availability of some of their teachers and lecturers; while some parents and guardians doubt the academic prowess of their own children/ward. In all of these, the big question has always been why the President still keeps Dr Minkailu Bah as Minister of Education? There is no doubt that Dr Bah’s poor human relationship, little or no new initiatives and failure to continue with good educational policies have contributed to the current state of education in Sierra Leone, but there also are other factors and actors that have not been given due prominence.
