This pledge of cooperation came up at a foundation laying meeting between Ghana’s Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, and the Minister for National Education of Romania, Valentin Popa, at the Ministry of National Education in Bucharest, Romania, as part of her three day official visit to Romania.
The Pledge and Plan
In an interview after the closed door bilateral talks, Minister Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey observed that her meeting with the Romanian Education Minister was preliminary and that the Minister for Education in Ghana will pick it up and develop the actual modalities to make the pledge a reality.
” There emerge one interesting area of similarity which is the fact that they have a very rigorous programme to ensure that they eradicate school drop outs at the Senior High School level and that is exactly what we are trying to do in Ghana with the Free Senior High School Programme to ensure that every child in Ghana has the opportunity not to truncate his or education at the Junior High School level. So what we have done is to just lay the foundation for the Ministry of Education to take it up” the Minister said.

She was hopeful that the follow up by the Education Ministry in Ghana will yield good fruits in that regard.
