The National Association of Graduate Instructors (NAGRAT) has accused the Ghana Education Service (GES) of deleting names of teachers from its payroll without cause. Last Thursday, the Association organized a press conference to highlight some of the issues affecting the country's first and second-cycle institutions. The shortage of primary teaching and learning tools such as textbooks and chalks, the deletion of teachers' wages from the payroll, the delay in payment of capitation grants, and the style of lesson note preparation were among the complaints mentioned during the press conference. Inherent in this system is the possibility to query any name or amount that has been specified on the payroll to be paid, the GES said in a statement released on February 21, 2022.
The service said it has published certain recommendations to prevent validators from exploiting teachers' wages based on complaints it has received. The statement stated that "Where there is a justifiable official reason why a particular salary should be discontinued, the validator should promptly tell the cost center manager of the development and the cause for it."The service responded to the issue of a scarcity of chalk and other teaching and learning tools by stating that the processes for acquiring and providing chalk to various schools are well underway. According to the GES, schools in the Western, Western North, and Eastern regions have received some critical supplies.
"All additional regions that require chalk will be provided." It's also worth noting that we have underused inventories of chalk in other locations, and some of it is being transported to areas where it's desperately needed. "The Service further noted that at a meeting with the teacher unions, it was decided that the preparation of lesson notes should be a collaborative effort between the teacher and his or her supervisor. "It should be authorized if both the instructor and the supervisor agree that it [lesson notes] should be written and submitted electronically." "A print-out of the written lecture notes should be supplied for vetting and approval if they cannot be transmitted online," the GES added.The service went on to say that, for whatever reason.
