INCLUDE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE FREE SHS POLICY- GNACOPS TELLS GOVERNMENT

In the recent release about the decision of the minister of education to be hard and resolute on the efficiency and effectiveness of headteachers, circuit supervisors and teachers in the public sector of education   clearly demonstrates that the private sector of education is really doing better in terms of effective education delivery in Ghana.

This had been emphatically accepted and expoused by the minister in accordance to what he  said -  "The worst thing is that in the public school system, the teachers are better trained and well  paid than those in the private sector, but their results are too bad. They even prefer to send their children to private schools. I have sleepless nights over this as a minister" For this reason,

The GHANA NATIONAL COUNCIL OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS ( GNACOPS)has called on the ministry of education who has been heart hardened  to listen to  private schools in it's educational policy implementation that, if the ministry is desirous to achieve policy results in the face of FREE SHS POLICY.
According to the Nationals Director of the Council, Mr. Enoch Kwasi Gyetuah, " he is  asking why private schools have been  neglected and consigned to the oblivion   by the ruling government? "

He further fumed that now the minister has seen the academic potency of products of private schools in Ghana, it is high time the ministry of education reconsider it's previous stance on operations of  private education and make them feel the essence of public private partnership in education delivery in Ghana.
Private schools have over the years been battling with a lot of challenges and there's the need for the government to intervene.

He is  calling on the minister to include private schools in the policies of Ghana's education.
The executive director hinted the press about new flaship program " GNACOPS' VOLUNTEERS SERVICE SCHEME" GVSS  introduced by the council  to   sustain and beef up the capacity building of the private schools workers to meet global educational framework, where over 200,000 untrained staff would be put into this scheme for regular and extensive training program to ripe  their professionalism in effective education delivery in private sector.
