Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum who was speaking on STEM Education in Kumasi base Radio station stated that the introduction of Continuous professional development in schools has come to replace the writing of lesson notes into notebooks by teachers. He explained that professional learning community PLC is been organized in schools to improve teachers’ competency.
