The sessions are focused on the Committee’s constitutional and statutory mandate, the legal and regulatory framework governing education, proposed amendments, and ethical leadership in Parliamentary governance.
Members are also participating in practical discussions on Parliamentary procedures, disclosure and recusal requirements, and reforms needed to improve education delivery across the country.
A key focus of the training is strengthening accountability in the education sector, including ensuring that public agencies respond to invitations and appear before the Committee when required.
The Ranking Member of the Committee and former Minister for Education, Hon. Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, shared insights from his experience in office and outlined practical ways the Committee can support improved education outcomes.
