Professor Smile also interacted with staff, especially Heads of schools, and reiterated Management’s directive that no Head should turn a student away over trunks and chop boxes. She emphasised that no student should be denied their right to education simply because of the items.
She further made it clear that any Head reported to Management for flouting the directive would face the appropriate sanctions.
The unannounced visits will continue throughout the academic year. They form part of Management’s efforts to obtain real-time, first-hand information from schools, enabling the Service to identify challenges promptly and take informed decisions and appropriate action.
Through these engagements, Management is also able to assess the implementation of its policies and directives at the school level, listen directly to concerns from staff and students, and provide guidance where necessary.
The Ghana Education Service will continue to ensure that every student is welcomed into a safe, supportive and conducive learning environment, and that no administrative practice becomes a barrier to accessing education.
