Answer:
The Ghanaian example has shown that the issue of "personnel not facilities being the bane of quality public primary education" is very much debatable. Ab initio, the two contributors are important in the delivery of quality public primary education. Therefore, I will allocate the bane of quality education 50/50 to each of these aspects of education delivery, just as they share equally as good facilitators of quality education.
This is premised on the fact that educational success cannot be achieved without the personnel, who must be of the highest quality, not only in terms of learning, but also in moral and ethical character formation and standing. This is important because education cannot be received without someone imparting it, and even some other persons helping the teachers to impart the desired knowledge and learning. A teacher or support staff who is morally depraved cannot impart quality education, especially at the primary level with pupils in their formative and tender years.
In the same light, nobody can expect the personnel to deliver quality education in a vacuum. The infrastructure or facilities are key in the delivery of quality education by quality personnel. These facilities are all-embracing and include many of the teaching aids required for successful education delivery, including the remuneration of the personnel. This makes this subject intricately intertwined. One cannot discuss an aspect without touching the other. The two must be effectively balanced in order to produce good results.
Explanation:
Quality public primary education is the measure of how well education is being delivered at the primary level of education, especially in government-owned schools rather than in privately owned institutions.
