Embrace education but preserve indigenous languages, cultures, traditional values -Prof Komla Tsey

Professor Komla Tsey, Chairman of Agate E.P. Church 125th Anniversary celebration has called on the youth to embrace education while also preserving our indigenous languages, cultures and traditional values.

According to him, embracing education alone is not enough while we undervalue our indigenous cultures and values.

Professor Komla Tsey gave the advice in an address to mark the 125th anniversary celebration of Agate E.P. Church in the Afadjato South District.

 He noted that the Whiteman brought education through our churches but most of the social vices we are experiencing these days is because of the neglect of some of our value systems that shape our lives.

He acknowledged the church’s contribution to education, emphasizing that people can appreciate its achievements without necessarily sharing its religious beliefs. 

He encouraged the youth to continue to learn from other countries, adapt useful ideas to local needs and develop innovative solutions to challenges in their communities.

He further urged them to embrace modern technology, including artificial intelligence, while listening to the elderly, studying science and value their indigenous languages.

He additionally urged the youth to maximise their education and share their knowledge with other young people in their communities to promote economic transformation.

He commended the church for its achievements in turning out good citizens in their communities.

The Clerk of the General Assembly of the EP Church, Ghana, Rev. Dr. Lawson Dzanku, in a sermon admonished Christians to remain steadfast in their faith and religious activities to win more souls for Christ.

He noted that the church has over the years contributed significantly to education and healthcare as well as established agricultura stations across the country to promote agricultural development. Read More.
