This follows claims by NAGRAT that the MoE had advertised positions for prospective headteachers.
According to the President of NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu, it is the duty of the Ghana Education Service(GES) to appoint headteachers and headmistresses, not the Ministry.
Speaking at the press conference held in Accra on Thursday, 17 February 2022, the President of NAGRAT said: "There are a lot of issues in the educational sector that must be addressed but we are all pretending as though there are no
issues.
“One of them is the decision by the Ministry of Education to appoint headmasters and headmistresses and they are starting with STEM schools but the Ministry has no power to appoint headmasters or headmistress."
He added: “It is the function of the Ghana
Education Service (GES), the GES has that
power to appoint headmasters and
headmistresses, not the Ministry of Education.”
The NAGRAT President, therefore, called on the
MoE to withdraw the advertisement inviting
applicants to apply.
"So the advertisements brought by the Ministry
inviting applicants to apply to be headmasters
and headmistress in STEM schools should be
withdrawer by the Ministry immediately,” Mr.
Carbonu stated.
