He said corruption ought to be tackled among students at the basic education and Senior High School level, if the country would successfully reduce the canker. Addressing the staff and students of Donbosco Technical Institute at Odumase, as part of his familiarization visit to communities in the district, Mr Obeng asked teachers to be firm on students who cheat during internal exams. Mr Obeng said teachers played a critical role in the development of children and so there is the need for them to guide students and help imbibe in them the spirit of nationalism. Mr Obeng told the students the technical education courses they were pursuing would prepare them adequately for the job market noting that skill training being offered them would make them self-employed upon completion.
