The National President of the Ghana National Association Teachers GNAT, Mr. Samuel Joe Alobua has cautioned teachers that until they change their attitudes as stakeholders in education, quality education in the country’s basic schools will be a mirage. He said teachers’ attitude towards teaching and learning was one key challenge facing the educational system in the country. Mr. Alobua said teacher absenteeism, ineffective lesson preparation and delivery, threatening class room environment and other teacher related factors were adversely affecting the children’s learning process in schools. The GNAT President made the statement at the 14th Northern Regional quadrennial delegate’s conference of GNAT in Tamale. The conference was to review the past work and plan for the next four years; receive financial reports and to elect the regional executive and special representatives to the national council and the teachers fund board. The theme was education in crisis, reexamining the roles of the stakeholders in the country. He urged the teachers to re-examine their roles in education delivery system in order to meet the expectation of the students. The Regional Chairman of the Ghana National teachers Association, Madam Martha Akemo said teachers in the Northern Region are very much concerned about the looming crisis in education because it appears that measures adopted so far were not yielding the desired results in quality teaching and learning. She said there was the need to collectively assess and identify the problem in the system and find a workable solution to them and also objectively review the roles of all stakeholders in order to arrest the crisis in the education sector. Madam Akemo also called for the views of teachers to be factored into whatever measures that needs to be taken in order to arrest the crises.
