He identified infrastructural inadequacies, insecurity and encroachment on school lands, tardiness on the part of teachers and pupils, insufficient training on pedagogy, ineffective monitoring and supervision, as some challenges effecting quality education and eroding the gains in the educational sector in Ghana.
