I want to use this opportunity to congratulate all the School staff, who have gained admission into any of these programs.
Kindly give the training your best attention to make this government investment, very beneficial and profitable.
We are very grateful to the Government of Ghana and the Ministry of Finance for this massive support given to Private Education.
2. Private School Inclusion in the National Standardized Test(NST).
Through the hard work of the Council and other Stakeholders, Private Schools have been included in the December 2022 National Standarderdised Test (NST)
The NST is an initiative that is answering all the assessment issues the private schools have faced with some external assessment agencies, therefore private schools should embrace this lifelong opportunity for their students.
_Mop-up arrangements are being made for schools that couldn’t participate in the exercise.*_
