The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially announced the full reinstatement of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) in all pre-tertiary schools across the country.
This move comes as a directive from President John Dramani Mahama, aimed at enhancing stakeholder involvement in the country’s education sector.
In a press release issued on Thursday, July 17, GES emphasised that the decision targets improved collaboration between parents, teachers, and communities in delivering quality education to Ghanaian learners.
The directive mandates all Heads of Public Senior High, Technical, and STEM schools to immediately begin implementing the reinstatement of PTAs.
“The move is aimed at strengthening the collaboration and involvement of parents, communities, and teachers in the delivery of quality education to Ghanaian learners,” the statement read.
Further guidelines on the structure, roles, and financial accountability of PTAs will be provided in the coming weeks. These guidelines are intended to ensure transparency, consistency, and efficiency in PTA operations nationwide.
GES is urging all stakeholders, including parents and teachers, to lend their full support to this renewed policy to guarantee its smooth and effective implementation.
