Teacher Trainees To Meet Over Four Months Unpaid Arrears

December 16, 2023 0
Teacher Trainees To Meet Over Four Months Unpaid Arrears

 



The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has planned a meeting to discuss measures to demand payment of allowances owed to its members.



The delay, according to the trainees, has caused untold hardships for them, particularly in terms of feeding and the purchase of teaching and learning materials.

In an interview with Citi News, the President of the association, Japheth Nana Kwame, said the meeting would determine their next move until the government addressed their demands.



“We have still not received the money, and we don’t know when it will be paid or the number of months out of the four months owed that will be paid. We have a few days to end the academic year, and we cannot allow the situation where the students will not get their money, and it enters the next academic year.”


“So during the meeting, we are going to determine what kind of action we are taking as this week passes, and we are not hearing anything substantial.”

    Teaching As An Act And A Science

    Some people think teachers are born. Others also believe that teachers are made. Well, both answers maybe correct and at the same time wrong.
    Some people have the talent for teaching and teach naturally. Others have to learn the skills systematically before getting used to an acceptable teaching style.

    In-service teachers do not write licensure exams - Christian Addai Poku
    Christian Addai Poku, executive secretary for NTC
      National Teaching Council,NTC is a part of process to give Teachers license according to ACT 778, which states that " The mandate of the NTC is to professionalise teaching in the country, Ghana. This was put in place to make sure that, completing a college or educational courses in school doesn't qualify you enough to teach in the Basic schools in the country.
      In an interview with Nana Yaw Kesseh, host of Kookrokoo morning show on Peace Fm, today Christian Addai Poku stated: In- service teachers do not write exams to be given their licence. In service teachers are given their licence and then will go through training i.e Continuos Assessment Development and then renew their licence in 2-3 year after.

    He said, it is pre-service teachers who are required to write their licensure exams before they are employed to teach in our schools.

    In addition, he said, the March and September licensure exams result will be out in the first week of February. And added that, you will have to pay before you are given your licence.

    BECE to be scrapped - NaCCA

    BECE to be scrapped - NaCCA

    According to the NaCCA the popular examination has outlived its
    relevance. The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has
    revealed that the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will soon be scrapped from the country’s educational system.

    According to executive secretary of NaCCA, Dr Prince Hamid Armah, the popular examination has outlived its relevance. Speaking to Francis Abban on the Morning Starr Thursday, Dr. Armah said there is enough evidence to support the need to introduce a new approach in testing the quality of teaching that pupils receive in Ghanaian schools. “The nomenclature called BECE will be scrapped totally. An exams will be used to do placements going forward. A criterion reference system will be used, BECE has outlived its usefulness in this country. The reports are there to prove this. The current examination known as the BECE is not Standard,” he said. He also disclosed “The National Assessment Test will be done at Primary 2, 4 ,6 & JHS 2. The end of term exams will not be replaced by the Assessment Test. “At primary 2 the children will write the National Assessment Test so we can tell their strengths and weaknesses. When we identify the learning gaps the teachers will have to give such children special attention. Every Ghanaian child would write end of term exams. The precious curriculum is what we describe as the objectivism curriculum. It focused more on what the teacher must achieve. This one focuses on what the children should know”.
