The Ministry of Education has dismissed a news report by TV3 that claimed the sector minister, Yaw Osei Adutwum, has challenged headteachers to mention schools without textbooks.
The Ministry stated on Wednesday that the report is untrue and that the Minister has not granted any interview to the Kanda-based TV station or any media outlet on the issue.
“We want to clarify that the Minister has not granted any interview or made any statement to TV3 or any media outlet regarding this specific matter,” the statement noted.
The Ministry said it strongly condemned “the deliberate spread of false information and the misuse of media to cultivate negative sentiments about the Minister without recourse to their own professional tenets.”
The statement additionally asked the public to disregrard TV3’s report, warning that it will take legal steps to get the media network to retract and apologise for their story.
