Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has announced the reinstatement of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA’s) in public school management.
The decision aims to improve collaboration between parents and teachers, enhancing student learning and overall school development.
Speaking at a public forum, the minister emphasized the importance of PTA’s in strengthening community involvement in education.
He expressed his happiness in reintroducing PTA’s under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration. He said this is to help parents and teachers work together to improve learning. “I am particularly happy to announce that PTA’s will be introduced back into the management of education…for parents and teachers to work together to improve learning outcomes in our educational institutions.”
He also expressed optimism that the PTA will help support educational institutions in producing quality human capital. He said, “…PTA’s support our educational institutions to produce quality human capital for the country,” he stated.
Previously, PTA’s played a key role in school policies, but their influence declined in recent years. The reinstatement will support schools in addressing issues like infrastructure, student discipline, and academic performance.
With this policy shift, the government seeks to create an inclusive education system where all stakeholders contribute to quality learning. Public schools are expected to reintegrate PTA’s into their management frameworks in the coming months.
