The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called for the immediate removal of Dr. Haggar Hilda Ampadu, the Executive Director of the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NASIA).
NAGRAT claims that NASIA has failed to collaborate effectively with various teacher unions. The association also questions why trained teachers under the Ghana Education Service have been sidelined in school inspections.
Angel Carbonu, President of NAGRAT, criticized Dr. Ampadu’s leadership, stating that she should be replaced 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 said.
