The Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Osei Assibey Antwi, has revealed that the 2023/2024 batch of National Service Personnel assigned to educational institutes will undergo a mandatory one-month training to equip them after completing their service.

Non-education college or university graduates posted to teach in schools will receive training to enhance their teaching skills and contribute to the nation's development beyond the one-year service period.

The 2022/2023 batch is set to conclude their service in October 2023, paving the way for the next batch.

Mr. Assibey Antwi expects 60 to 70 percent of the 2023/2024 batch to be posted to the private sector, collaborating with the National Teaching Council and other educational stakeholders. Trainees will receive certificates upon completion.

The NSS aims to equip graduates for the future workforce and plans to deploy a significant number of Science and Technology graduates to the private sector, catering to the demands of the private sector for such personnel.

Mr. Assibey Antwi clarified that the NSS owes only one month of arrears to the current batch of Service Personnel, debunking rumors of multiple months of unpaid allowances. The payment format differs from the country's standard, leading to misconceptions and speculations.
