Revamping Education Sector: GNAT Backs Re-Introduction of Parent-Teacher Associations
The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has thrown its weight behind the re-introduction of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) in schools. This move is part of the government’s educational reform efforts aimed at improving the quality of education in the country.
According to GNAT, the re-introduction of PTAs will help to foster a stronger partnership between parents, teachers, and the community, ultimately leading to better academic outcomes for students. The association believes that PTAs will provide a platform for parents to contribute to the development of their children’s schools and support teachers in their work.
The re-introduction of PTAs is also expected to help address some of the challenges facing the education sector, including inadequate infrastructure, lack of resources, and poor academic performance. By working together, parents, teachers, and the community can help to identify solutions to these challenges and work towards improving the quality of education in Ghana.
GNAT’s support for the re-introduction of PTAs is a significant boost to the government’s educational reform efforts. The association’s membership includes teachers from all levels of education, from basic to tertiary, and its endorsement of PTAs is likely to encourage more parents and teachers to get involved in the initiative.
As the government continues to roll out its educational reforms, the re-introduction of PTAs is expected to play a critical role in improving the quality of education in Ghana.
With the support of GNAT and other stakeholders, the initiative is likely to make a positive impact on the education sector and help to ensure that Ghana’s children receive the best possible education.
