The Ministry of Education has responded to concerns raised by the University Teachers Association of Ghana following its recent press briefing by setting up a committee to investigate the issues.
The Minister for Education has appointed a three-member team to examine the allegations and related matters, with a mandate to submit recommendations to John Dramani Mahama.
The committee is chaired by Deputy Minister for Education Clement Apaak. Other members include Professor K.T. Oduro, Technical Advisor to the Ministry, and Professor Mahama Duweijua, Board Chairman of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission.
The Ministry has urged all relevant stakeholders to cooperate fully with the committee, emphasizing its commitment to dialogue and resolving challenges within the tertiary education sector.
The announcement, signed by Press Secretary Hashmin Mohammed, comes amid increased pressure from UTAG. The association has called for the removal of both the Director-General and Deputy Director-General of GTEC, issued a 14-day ultimatum to the government, and demanded the withdrawal of directives it considers improperly issued.
