The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has demanded the immediate removal of Dr. Haggar Hilda Ampadu, the Executive Director of the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NASIA).
NAGRAT asserts that NASIA has not effectively collaborated with teacher unions and questions the exclusion of trained teachers from the Ghana Education Service in school inspections.
Angel Carbonu, President of NAGRAT, criticized Dr. Ampadu’s leadership, calling for her replacement with a more competent individual.
“One wonders whether it’s right for the Inspector to be the one to collect fees and charges. And again, I have never seen the report that NASIA is supposed to bring out quarterly on the inspection work that they have done. It looks as if the leader of NASIA as of now does not understand the job that is been given to her.
“We humbly plead with the government to change her and get a more competent person to manage NASIA and see how we operate in that [area]. Since that agency was formed, it has never had any meetings with the representatives of the teachers in this country, and I’m talking about the unions.
“There has not been a single meeting, we have reached out to the head of NASIA, the leadership, all these years, and we’re talking about six years now, zero, no meeting,” Angel Carbonu stated.
