Madam Elizabeth Desouze, Northern Regional Director of Education, has urged teachers across the country to adopt interactive methods of teaching which, she said, was the best means of knowledge acquisition.
She noted that bad teaching methods and the lack of qualified teachers to teach in the deprived areas were major setbacks to the country's attainment of the Millennium Development Goals in education.
Madam Desouze said this in Tamale on Wednesday during the inauguration of a one goal education for all programme of Campaign for Female Education (Camfed), an NGO.
The programme would use interactive learning processes to teach children in the Nunumba South District as a means of encouraging learning
and infusing excitement to make learning easier for students.
Madam Desouze urged school authorities and parents to adopt computer software that would enable children to learn with ease and enthusiasm adding that "we are in the ICT world".
She however observed that the one-computer per child policy though a good policy, was facing some financial difficulties making government to
temporarily stop it after the first consignment of 90 computers to the region.
The Executive Director of Camfed Ghana, Mrs. Doleres Dickson, said the interactive learning show programme would not only motivate pupils to stay in school but improve the pedagogical skills of teachers to enhance teaching and learning.
She said the programme has been designed with a software that would replicate classroom lessons to the students adding that about 2,000 students are expected to benefit.
Alhaji Seidu Amidu, District Chief Executive for Nanumba South, commended the NGO for initiating some developmental programmes including the payment of school fees, provision of computers to students all aimed at improving education.
He urged Camfed to collaborate effectively with the Ghana Education Service and the District Assembly to be able to implement programmes
successfully.
