The Ghana National Association of Teachers 9GNAT) has said that the position of the Director-General of Ghana Education has been occupied by educationists since its establishment in 1970.

The Union added that it remained as such, even under the military regime.

The National Council of the Ghana National Association of Teachers, GNAT, made up of 5 National Officers, 32 National Executive members, and 127 District Chairmen, with 3 Management Staff, and Full-time Staff across the regions in attendance, having met at the 2022 mandatory meeting at the Teachers Village, Abankro from25th-29th October 2022, and deliberated on all the issues tabled before it, do hereby issue this Communique.

Council discussed the termination of Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa an Educationist as the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, and his replacement with Dr Eric Nkansah, a Banker, and hereby states that:

(a) The position of Director-General of the Ghana Education Service is the preserve of Educationists, and has been occupied by Educationists since its creation in the 1970s, and remained as such, even under the military regime.

Council found the replacement of Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa with Dr Eric Nkansah the Banker, as both unfortunate and untenable.

In this circumstance therefore Council calls for the revocation and subsequent appointment of an Educationist to occupy that office, by 4th November 2022.

(b) With Mr Anthony Boateng, the Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Education Service who was granted one more year contract extension council still opposes the said contract extension, and thereby sounds this note of caution, that we would vehemently and vigorously resist any attempt to bring Mr Anthony Boateng back into the system, and that the consequences of any such attempt may be too dire to handle.
