Promotion of national unity is a must
National unity is very important in bringing everyone together for socioeconomic development.
Without unity, it will be difficult for the nation to move in a common direction. For this reason, all of us (children and adults) must work towards our common destiny with the sole aim of bringing everybody together in the interest of Ghana.
Ghanaians are one people with a common destiny. For this reason, we need to come together inspite of our differences and work towards a common goal.
In everything that we do, we should remember that without unity, success will be difficult to achieve. It is in line with this that all Ghanaians irrespective of their ethnic, political and other beliefs ought to bury their differences and forge ahead to achieve the ultimate national goal.
Attainment of the ultimate goal will not be easy but with dedication and a common purpose, this will be possible. Every obstacle or challenge can be overcome if only Ghanaians see themselves as one people with a common destiny.
All the 16 regions in Ghana must be conscientised to this realisation. There must be strong unity at the regional level and also at the national level. This will make the entire nation move forward just like other nations that have been able to move forward in unity to the admiration of their people.
Some time ago, there was East and West Germany. These were divided along ideological lines but today, the two have buried their differences and come together as one nation.
As a result of this unity, Germany today has emerged a strong nation. The Germans have put all their differences behind them and are moving forward for national development.
Ghana, in its supreme interest, must also learn from this so that all the regions will be united as one entity.
The time has now come for the people in this country to have a common voice regarding national development issues. Differences in opinion may exist but we should not see one another as enemies and engage in needless fighting using physical strength as happened in Parliament recently.
We need to unite as a people and fight our common challenges or problems such as poverty, squalor, illiteracy, lack of schools and accommodation, poor healthcare and malnutrition among others. This is the way forward so let us remain united and keep to the national development agenda.
Dear Editor,
THE Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that most Senior High Schools (SHSs) will return to the single-track system by this month.
For many students and parents, this feels like a relief. But before we move on, we must take a moment to reflect.
The double-track system helped thousands of students get into schools. It gave hope to families who couldn’t afford private education. But it also came with challenges.
Some students had shorter terms, others had longer breaks. Teachers were stretched, and learning felt rushed. Many students felt left behind not because they didn’t try, but because the system didn’t give them enough time.
Now that we’re returning to single-track, let’s make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. We need more classrooms, better planning, and support for teachers.
Education is not just about getting into school. It’s about feeling safe and supported. Let’s build a system that gives every child a real chance.

Dear Editor
As it is critical for preserving our surroundings, there is the urgent need for increased awareness and action to protect Ghana’s environment and resources.
Ghana’s forest reserves, vast savannas and scenic coastlines serve as homes and habitats to a wide range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species.
Our vegetation and rich soil deposits provide the nation with food, plants and animal resources, which ensures food availability and accessibility for the population.
However, the country’s environment is facing numerous threats including deforestation, overexploitation, pollution, etc.
The importance of environmental conservation cannot be overstated; our natural resources are the backbone of our economy, playing a vital role in driving the country’s economic growth and development.
It is therefore critical that we take actions to protect them for our future generations.
There is the need for collective action to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
Environmentalists, various organizations and private individuals must come on board to promote environmental conservation, through tree planting exercises, clean-up campaigns, and resource conservation practices.
These efforts, when carried out effectively, would create a long-lasting impact in protecting and conserving the country’s environment.
The Ghanaian government should also implement policies and conduct regular programmes aimed at promoting environmental conservation.
