A concerned parent is urging the Ghana Education Service to ignore the bluff of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) and the Conference for Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) over their stance on the eleven interdicted SHS headmasters.
Mr. Michael Adu-Gyamfi believes any attempt by GES to reinstate the headmasters alleged to have collected unapproved fees and committed admission infractions without recourse to disciplinary proceedings will be an example of bad precedence and a breach of trust to parents.
Challenging the position of GNAT and CHASS, suggesting to GES to let sleeping dogs lie, he queried whether the accused headmasters committed the offence or they were just pleading for them to be left off the hook.
He also argued that GNAT and CHASS will maintain such positions and extend such mitigation gestures to any member alleged to have committed any offence.
The brazen nature of school authorities exploiting poor parents was so widespread that it demands the use of scapegoats to serve as deterrents, he reiterated.
Mr. Adu Gyamfi insists parents will be disappointed in the education service if it is cowed by threats and fails to exhaust the disciplinary process.
