GNAT calls for urgent Education Minister appointment

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is urging the swift appointment of a Minister of Education to tackle the sector’s pressing issues.

According to GNAT General Secretary Thomas Tanko Musah, the delay in naming an Education Minister has exacerbated challenges, including the food crisis in senior high schools (SHSs) and delays in capitation grants for basic schools.

He emphasized that these are policy matters that require immediate attention.

The National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTA) and the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) have also called for urgent action, citing the deteriorating conditions in schools since their reopening.
