Receiving the report, President Kufuor said education was the key to the future and the key must be strong and wholesome.

Professor Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, Principal of the University College of Education, Winneba (UCEW) and Chairman of the Committee, presenting the report said it was an opportunity for the Committee to serve the nation.
