Obenfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah Appointed to NaSIA Board as Private Education Representative
Obenfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah, the long-serving Executive Director of the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS), has officially been appointed as a member of the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA) governing board. He represents private school associations across Ghana—playing a key role in shaping inspection policies and supporting quality education outcomes.
This strategic appointment confirms the Ministry of Education’s commitment to ensuring fair representation and inclusive policy development, especially for the private sector, which serves nearly 30% of Ghana’s basic education learners.
Who Is Obenfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah?
With a career rooted in education reform, private sector empowerment, and teacher professionalism, Mr. Gyetuah has championed:
- Teacher licensing and development through GNACOPS–UEW partnerships
- Policy advocacy for school inspections and assessment reform
- Holistic education initiatives focused on learner-centered outcomes
As a consistent thought leader, he has also influenced national discourse through frameworks like the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and systems that help schools prepare for GES inspection.
Why This Appointment Matters
Obenfo Gyetuah’s role on the NaSIA board helps:
- Bridge the gap between public regulation and private realities
- Shape inspection tools that are practical, contextual, and equitable
- Encourage policies that build capacity—not just compliance—in private schools
This follows a growing national consensus, supported by Dr. Yaw Adutwum, that NaSIA must treat private schools as partners, not revenue sources.
