The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called for the dismissal of the Executive Director of the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NASIA), Dr. Haggar Hilda Ampadu.

NAGRAT claims that NASIA has not effectively collaborated with teacher unions and has overlooked trained teachers from the Ghana Education Service in school inspections.

Angel Carbonu, President of NAGRAT, emphasized that a more capable individual should replace Dr. Ampadu.

“One wonders whether it’s right for the Inspector to be the one to collect fees and charges. And again, I have never seen the report that NASIA is supposed to bring out quarterly on the inspection work that they have done. It looks as if the leader of NASIA as of now does not understand the job that is been given to her.

“We humbly plead with the government to change her and get a more competent person to manage NASIA and see how we operate in that [area]. Since that agency was formed, it has never had any meetings with the representatives of the teachers in this country, and I’m talking about the unions.

“There has not been a single meeting, we have reached out to the head of NASIA, the leadership, all these years, and we’re talking about six years now, zero, no meeting,” Angel Carbonu said.
