The Director General, Ghana Education Service, Mr. Jacob A. M. Kor, has reiterated the need for teachers to move away from the old ways of doing things to enable them produce functional graduates who would be very useful to the nation.
He said that producing useful graduates meant offering the nation the required students who would practically and purposely lead the country to achieve its goals.

He charged all stakeholders in education especially parents and teachers to re-visit the vital role they played in the education of children.
Mr Kor urged teachers to inculcate Information Communication Technology skills into their teaching methods, since that was the surest way to go.
