POLITICIANS AND LAWLESSNESS ARE THE REASONS FOR THE FLUNK IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AT THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS - BY Fuseini Dipantiche Mohammed

Dear Dojiya
  
I have the hope of a pregnant woman that you sure are well. Though the weather is becoming un-becoming-ly cheery in heat just to shift the hour hand off harmmattan, I am with the strongest conviction that the blood chain of ancestral traits are in the love of nature against the tides of the odds.

The soothsayers of education, say that education  is the complete development of the whole being; ethically mannered, psychologically stable, spiritually nourished, physically fit, mentally sound and intellectually adjusted. A tree has got a lot of shade, but buttocks can only occupy an area proportional to its size. Therefore, the end of children schooling is a bile in my food. 

Since 2012, the academic performance of students has been declined with so much noises made on what possibly is breastfeeding this prodigious efficiency miser. Acerbic punctures have been thrown to the guiding angels of these students. Worst of those attacking militants are the societal hyenas who can't remember the national anthem nor the national pledge of our dear nation.

It is a human nature, to take credit for the good he succeeds in doing and blames God and the devil for the evil that befalls him/her. The patients put it better: God heals but the doctor takes the credit and pay. A visit to the learning workshop, with an objective lenses would reveal that the foot soldiers, among the guiding Angeles deserve praises for their meritorious and efforts in furnishing these students with the right information to come out with flying colours. 

Regrettably, Dojiya, all these efforts of these angels are “a cotton in harmattan wind", ever since the state hyenas'  love for power has grown beyond their sense of quality and better development of the children. Students who get the aggregate of the oldest oak tree in our village, get public learning workshops to attend. As a result, the zeal to rack ones brain to excel in exams in order to   proceed to grown ups workshops is dwindling to extinction. Students now rely  much on crammers to 'excel' in their BECE exams, with little attention to their studies and revision. This, though chafing the beauty of children end of education, makes the crammers buoyant producers.

However, these toothless barking dogs, have penetrated the very pith of our educational system and have poisoned the whole system with the 'I know my right ' syndrome. Believe you me, it is out of lawlessness on the part of the kings and queens of guiding angels, that these rots are swept under the carpet.

They go the lion-chase-buffalo mile to sit in their frozen ovens with no clue of what is happening in the learning workshops and draw the blue prints for the battle they have never seen. This is directly proportional to the level of measured cotton-headedness to believing the blind man that come announcing that he saw a life fish with an eye.  

Indiscipline becomes the hallmark of a nation politicians- state hyenas, politrick with even the colour of the pant their citizens should wear. Consternation looms my mind now as I'm bathing in desolation at Yankazia- my new village of tutulege.

Tu-whit, tu-whoo! The last sleepless owl has announced sleep. Dojiya! Save my 'Tipagya' for our revered dynasty and household.

Your Poet from our Savannah
