A Non-Governmental Organisation Young Educator Forum (YEF) is calling on media houses to include more literacy and educational programmes in their media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The NGO insists that the educational role of the media is being under utilized hence the need to step up their efforts to augment efforts of educational insitutions.<\/p>\n

The Country Director of the Young Educators Foundation Eugenia Techie-Menson who\u00a0was speaking after the launch of the 2014\/2015 Spelling Bee competition\u00a0said the media has a role to play in educating children.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will like to call on the media to push more for such educational programmes to become a main stay. We need to revolutionize our education system. We need to change how we learn. Children learn by memorizing a bit but learning it in a fun way. So we need the media to help in this agenda because it\u2019s a tough battle,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Her plea follows\u00a0reports released by WAEC that 70 percent of students<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> who took part 2013\/2014 <\/span>West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) could not get the required grades to gain admission to tertiary institutions in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report raised public outcry but the\u00a0Minister of Education, Prof. Jane Nana Opoku Agyeman blamed the abysmal performance on overcrowded curriculum<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
