The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reinstated Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) in all pre-tertiary schools across the country, following a directive from President John Dramani Mahama.
In a statement issued on Thursday July 17, Head of Public Relations at GES, Daniel Fenyi announced that the directive takes immediate effect and applies to all public senior high schools, technical institutes and STEM schools nationwide.
“Management of GES has instructed all heads of institutions to operationalize the reinstatement of PTAs with immediate effect,” the statement read.
The GES explained that the move is aimed at deepening collaboration and enhancing the involvement of parents, communities and teachers in the delivery of quality education to Ghanaian learners.
The service indicated that additional guidelines outlining the structure, roles and financial accountability mechanisms for PTAs will be released in due course. These measures are expected to promote transparency, uniformity and efficiency in PTA operations nationwide.
GES appealed to all stakeholders to support the implementation of the policy to ensure its success.
