Accra, April 9, GNA – Mr Tettey Nettey, President of Meridian Pre-University on Saturday commended the
Government and teachers for amicably resolving the operational
hiccup encountered during the migration of teachers onto the
Single Spine Salary Structure. “The education of the youth is very crucial for the survival of
any nation, therefore Ghanaian children must not suffer unduly
for administrative and policy hiccups through intermittent strike
by teachers. “It was refreshing that both parties exhibited high sense of
maturity and urgency in correcting the anomalies which occurred
last month,” Mr Nettey told news men in Accra. Mr Nettey urged the Government, National Association of
Graduate Teachers and Ghana National Association of Teachers
to demonstrate their commitment to the accord and adhere to
timelines in resolving any other outstanding issues. He said teachers played a crucial role in the promotion of
education in every nation and as such nothing should be made to
compel them to withdraw their services at any given period. The President of Meridian Pre-University also called on the
West African Examination Council (WAEC) and other
stakeholders to ensure that the on-going West Africa Senior
Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and Basic
Education Certificate Examination are conducted with limited
infractions. The WAEC has indicated that it was set to organize both
examinations from April to May this year. Mr Nettey also cautioned candidates to avoid examination
malpractices and any other acts that may force authorities to
cancel their results. The first batch of students, under the Senior High School
four-year Education Programme will on April 6 begin the 2011
WASSSCE.
