“I am particularly happy to announce that PTAs will be introduced back into the management of education under the presidency of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, to work for parents and teachers to work together to improve learning outcomes in our educational institutions. And for PTAs to support our educational institutions to produce quality human capital for the country,” he stated.

The revival of PTAs is set to offer vital support to public schools, aiming to tackle challenges like infrastructure improvement, student conduct, and academic achievements. While PTAs once played a significant role in influencing school-level policies, their impact has diminished in recent years.

This new policy is designed to promote a more collaborative education system, encouraging a partnership between parents, teachers, and school leaders to enhance the quality of education for all learners.

In the coming months, schools are expected to formally reinstate PTAs into their organizational frameworks as part of this strategic shift.
