Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has announced the reinstatement of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) in the management structure of public schools, aiming to foster stronger collaboration between parents and teachers to improve student learning outcomes.
Speaking at a public forum, the minister emphasized the critical role of PTAs in strengthening community involvement in education.
“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 reinstatement of PTAs is expected to provide much-needed support to public schools, addressing issues such as infrastructure development, student discipline, and academic performance. In the past, PTAs played a key role in shaping school policies, but their influence had diminished in recent years.
With this policy shift, the government aims to create a more inclusive education system where parents, teachers, and school administrators collaborate to ensure quality education for all students.
Schools are set to begin formally reintegrating PTAs into their administrative structures in the coming months as part of the government’s commitment to strengthening the education sector.
