Members of Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) in the Upper West Region, have appealed to the Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD) to consider putting workers passport pictures on their pay slips.

The practice, they explained would help prevent the use of the pay slips of others for financial transactions.

Mr Sebastian Y. Sorinye, Regional Chairman of GNAT made the appeal at the 4th Quadrennial Regional Delegates Conference of GNAT in Wa on the theme: “Quality Teachers; Quality Education for all: The Road to 2015.”

He appealed to government to put the necessary machinery in place to conclude all unfinished business for teachers.

Mr Sorinye said: “GNAT is equally reminding all its members to refrain from... acts of indiscipline.”

He announced that 215 of members went on retirement last year while it recorded 75 deaths within the period.

Dr Ephraim Avea Nsoh, Regional Minister noted that teachers are the driving force behind the educational system.

He said there is therefore the need for the nation to invest heavily in the production of quality teachers who deserve to be highly motivated to enable them to deliver of their best.

Dr Nsoh said the attainment of the Millennium Development Goal 2, which seeks to achieve universal primary education by 2015, would be a mirage if attention is not paid to teacher training and development, hence the upgrading of teacher training colleges to diploma awarding colleges to enhance their output.

Government is also in the process of providing 20 more teacher training colleges to expand the intake of students and also meet the increasing demand for trained teachers. 

The Regional Minister advised teachers seeking study leave with pay to follow the laid down procedures and apply for approved courses to avert having their names deleted from the pay roll.

“Those of you, who are also pursuing distant learning programmes, should not do that at the expense of their students... who invariably lose a lot of contract hours due to your absence from school,” Dr Nsoh warned.

He urged personnel of the Supervisory Unit of Ghana Education Service to intensify their efforts to ensure that teachers stay at post to ensure an improved performance at the basic education certificate examination.

Avenues For Acquiring Scholarships In Ghana

The recent speculations on the media about tertiary students paying utility bills and other stuffs have sparked a big debate in the mind-set of students, parents and intellectuals. Why students paying utility bills whilst Ghana has discovered oil and gas and drilling is on-going. It is pathetic and share wickedness.
The NDC government is playing with the future of this country.The government is not serious with our education. A whole general Secretary of NDC Johnson Asiedu Ntesiah have the gut to say that " No sense in paying teacher trainee allowances – Mosquito | General News 2015-04-25 - http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=355909 " but believe there is a sense in tertiary students paying utility bills.
Mr. Godwin Gbobovi NDC communicator in Ashanti region also have the gut to call teachers trainees "GOOD-FOR-NOTHING-STUDENTS" This is a great insult to the colleges of education and their teaching and non-teaching staffs. How can lectures/tutors train people to come out and impart knowledge on the less knowledgeable ones then we call these trainees such a name. Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) and PRINCOF must come out to condemn such irresponsible comments .
We have teachers who have completed universities and distance education programmes but are not gainfully employed in our schools and colleges. Is only in Ghana that we have established a professional Graduate Unemployment Union. Indeed NDC Government is playing with our education and the future generation.
How can a teacher worked for 24 months and recieve 3 months salary? and government claimed this is BETTER GHANA AGENDA.
MARCO RUB once said "We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system.
And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again". This is what NDC government must do so that they can pay teachers, nurses, other workers and tertiary institutions utility bills.
Just look at this under President Kuffour government:
NPP paid training teachers and nurses colleges allowances. Introduced the distance education programme when Ghana was not drilling oil and receiving anything from gas?
NPP paid teachers who taught for 24 months salaries fully?
NPP extended GETfund projects to private universities? NPP upgraded the certificate of teachers trainees to Diploma and did not allowed tertiary students to pay utility bills.
Why have all these interventions vanished in our country under NDC John Mahama Government with oil and gas funds.
Hon. Kwesi Bonzoh who was the 2012 Parliamentary candidate for Ellembelle on NPP ticket once said " A nation that recognize students and their well-being has the greatest future but if a nation does not recognize students wellbeing then woes await the future generation" How can Ghanians sit down and allow woes to cover the future generation. Arise Ghana youths for your country.
The only thing NDC government can initiate upon all these challenges tertiary students are facing is CAMPUS CONNECT. Why do students have leaders? Why the existence of national student unions and other bodies?
If Mr Ablakwa has anything better for the tertiary students then He must heed to their cry concerning the scrapping of the allowances,high cost of examination fees, high cost of feeding fees,lack of infrastructure, inadequate teaching and learning materials, postings of trainees after completion , utility bills,persistent power outage,support to private universities and others.
The minister should meet the Energy Minister,the president of Ghana, PUSAG,TTAG,CETAG, PRINCOF, national students unions executives ,GES,POTAG,GHS and other bodies to address students and teachers problems rather than coming to meet the students during instructional hours. Mr Ablakwa as Education Minister for tertiary should know the best and not otherwise.
The so called campus connect which is a campaign ground for NDC must not work.Nana Addo once said "GHANA NEEDS LEADERS THAT THINK ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION AND NOT the next elections" If Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa has a meeting then he must met President John Mahama and remind him of THE TEN (10) colleges of education promised by NDC and President Mahama in 2012 election. Mr minister and NDC government are you serious with the future of Ghanians education?

The NDC government is playing with the future of this country.The government is not serious with our education. A whole general Secretary of NDC Johnson Asiedu Ntesiah have the gut to say that " No sense in paying teacher trainee allowances – Mosquito | General News 2015-04-25 - http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=355909 " but believe there is a sense in tertiary students paying utility bills.
Mr. Godwin Gbobovi NDC communicator in Ashanti region also have the gut to call teachers trainees "GOOD-FOR-NOTHING-STUDENTS" This is a great insult to the colleges of education and their teaching and non-teaching staffs. How can lectures/tutors train people to come out and impart knowledge on the less knowledgeable ones then we call these trainees such a name. Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) and PRINCOF must come out to condemn such irresponsible comments .
We have teachers who have completed universities and distance education programmes but are not gainfully employed in our schools and colleges. Is only in Ghana that we have established a professional Graduate Unemployment Union. Indeed NDC Government is playing with our education and the future generation.
How can a teacher worked for 24 months and recieve 3 months salary? and government claimed this is BETTER GHANA AGENDA.
MARCO RUB once said "We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system.
And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again". This is what NDC government must do so that they can pay teachers, nurses, other workers and tertiary institutions utility bills.
Just look at this under President Kuffour government:
NPP paid training teachers and nurses colleges allowances. Introduced the distance education programme when Ghana was not drilling oil and receiving anything from gas?
NPP paid teachers who taught for 24 months salaries fully?
NPP extended GETfund projects to private universities? NPP upgraded the certificate of teachers trainees to Diploma and did not allowed tertiary students to pay utility bills.
Why have all these interventions vanished in our country under NDC John Mahama Government with oil and gas funds.
Hon. Kwesi Bonzoh who was the 2012 Parliamentary candidate for Ellembelle on NPP ticket once said " A nation that recognize students and their well-being has the greatest future but if a nation does not recognize students wellbeing then woes await the future generation" How can Ghanians sit down and allow woes to cover the future generation. Arise Ghana youths for your country.
The only thing NDC government can initiate upon all these challenges tertiary students are facing is CAMPUS CONNECT. Why do students have leaders? Why the existence of national student unions and other bodies?
If Mr Ablakwa has anything better for the tertiary students then He must heed to their cry concerning the scrapping of the allowances,high cost of examination fees, high cost of feeding fees,lack of infrastructure, inadequate teaching and learning materials, postings of trainees after completion , utility bills,persistent power outage,support to private universities and others.
The minister should meet the Energy Minister,the president of Ghana, PUSAG,TTAG,CETAG, PRINCOF, national students unions executives ,GES,POTAG,GHS and other bodies to address students and teachers problems rather than coming to meet the students during instructional hours. Mr Ablakwa as Education Minister for tertiary should know the best and not otherwise.
The so called campus connect which is a campaign ground for NDC must not work.Nana Addo once said "GHANA NEEDS LEADERS THAT THINK ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION AND NOT the next elections" If Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa has a meeting then he must met President John Mahama and remind him of THE TEN (10) colleges of education promised by NDC and President Mahama in 2012 election. Mr minister and NDC government are you serious with the future of Ghanians education?

Students in public tertiary institutions including universities, polytechnics and colleges of education would have to brace themselves to pay water and electricity (utility bills) next semester.
This follows a decision by government to levy them for the water and electricity they consume on campus, under the pretext of a new cost sharing agreement between government, tertiary institutions, staff and students.
Some students are mischievously calling it 'Ablakwa bills' because they believe that Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Deputy Education Minister and a former student leader, is the one pushing those draconian educational policies including the withdrawal of teacher trainees' allowances.
Government, through the Ministry of Communications, released what it called the UPSA declaration—issued by the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) on behalf of the Ministry of Education and stakeholders—directing that 'students on campus should bear the cost of utilities in students' residential facilities especially as more than 70% of students currently live in private hostels off campus and pay for their utilities; thus, creating an unfair arrangement where Government subsidies benefit only the 30% minority.'
It was purported to have been issued by Sulemana Hakim, President of the Ghana National Union of Polytechnic Students; Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Minister of Education; Prof Otoo Ellis, Chairman, Vice Chancellors, Ghana; Prof N.N. Nsowah Nuamah, President, Committee of Polytechnic Rectors; Rev Elizabeth Amoako, President , Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education; Prosper Dzitse, President , National Union of Ghana Students and Prof Mahama Duwiejua, Executive Secretary, National Council for Tertiary Education.
Even though an effective date for implementation is yet to be announced, tertiary institutions will also be required to pay the cost of utilities supplied to commercialised units such as guest houses, restaurants, printing presses and commercial agricultural products processing units among others. Also, staff occupying residential facilities owned by public tertiary institutions will continue to bear the cost of utilities supplied to those facilities.
On its part, government will bear the cost of utilities supplied to academic (teaching and learning as well as research), health and administrative facilities in public tertiary institutions.
In view of the above, different metering systems are expected to be applied to segregate different users of utilities in tertiary institutions.
The agreement was said to have been reached after a meeting held on March 25, 2015 at the auditorium of the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) in Accra at the instance of the Ministry of Education. Representatives of major stakeholders in tertiary education in Ghana, suppliers of public utilities and allied institutions were said to have attended that meeting.
They were said to have, among other things, discussed strategies for sustainable consumption of utilities in tertiary institutions, crafted innovative alternative means of providing utilities to tertiary institutions and made recommendations to inform government's policy regarding the utilisation of utilities in tertiary institutions.

Only 10 percent of qualified persons can gain admission into the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Cape Coast this year.

Dean of the School of Medical Sciences, Professor Harold Amonoo-Kuofi said he had an uncomfortable task of choosing only 50 out of about 500 applications of qualified candidates for the school this academic year.

Prof. Amoono-Kuofi was speaking at the 43rd congregation and first induction ceremony of the School of Medical Sciences at the school, Saturday.

He therefore recommended establishment of hospitals with the equipment to facilitate teaching as a sure way of increasing the intake subsequently. The Dean said the vision of the school is to make it a centre of excellence with worldwide acclaim.

Consequently, the school incorporates best practices around the world; including the promotion of community services with emphasis on integrated approach to the study of human structure and functions.

Meanwhile, President John Mahama has given the assurance that government will take steps to address the issue to balance the patient doctor ratio in the country.

President Mahama said the provision of such facilities would also help to improve the doctor-patients ratio in the country and would subsequently improve the country's chances of achieving all the Millennium Development Goals in the next couple of years.

The President announced that apart from the health facilities, government would also increase educational facilities at various Senior High Schools in the country.
