GNACOPS LAUNCHES ONLINE STUDY PORTAL FOR EDUCATION DELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS

The Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) will from Monday, 6th April 2020, roll out an online Assessment Portal that will afford all Private Schools in Ghana the opportunity to conduct academic assessments for their learners. At the moment, the portal is ready. Schools and parents have begun registering learners at www.gnacopsgh.com/register. The assessment is based on all subjects including French language for students from Kindergarten 1 to JHS 2. Deadline for the registration is on the mid night of Sunday, 5th April 2020 as the assessment begins on the following Monday, 6th April, 2020 and ends on Friday, 10th April, 2020. This intervention has become necessary due to the closure of schools since March 15th following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Schools were preparing for the second term examinations when the unfortunate happened. In complementing the efforts of the government through the sector ministry for effective and quality education delivery, the Council is committed to using this intervention to help all private schools bridge the gap in terms of delivering effective educational curricula, instructions and assessment of the learners. This exercise seeks to help Private Schools fulfill their obligatory services they render to parents and learners, through the routine use of the internet and other technological support as important educational tools which when tapped into, can be very invaluable in the teacher and learning environment.

Private Schools Council will continually engage private schools in all aspects and find innovative ways to help in their service delivery to the learners, parents, teachers, school heads, proprietors, stakeholders and the nation as a whole. In this regard, after the assessment is over, the Council will roll out a very interactive online learning portal that will be used to deliver lessons to learners from kindergarten to the SHS in the comfort of their homes.
