Public Colleges of Education are expected to introduce an Additional English Language (AEL) Course to boost the reading and comprehension skills of students in the Colleges.
This was suggested by the Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum during a stakeholder meeting with the leadership of the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PrinCof).
Reason
The Minister’s suggestion came after there have been arguments that some students from the Junior High Schools (JHS) and Senior High Schools (SHS) can not read and write well but get to the Colleges of Education due to the introduction of the Free SHS Initiative.

How could students who barely can read and write end up in the college if not your failed and unfair system of admitting students. I’m talking about protocols, those who really deserve to be admitted are at still at home for about 3-4 years but someone will just pay and enter whether he pass or not. Be fair and this new course won’t be necessary
I really get your point and I support everything you say
