Angel Carbonu, President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), has highlighted significant challenges in school admissions and disciplinary matters in Ghanaian education.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Carbonu recounted instances where he encountered difficult situations. He bravely declined a request to secure admission for a student with a low aggregate score of 37 to Wesley Girls High School, a request he found inappropriate and declined to facilitate.
In another case, Carbonu discussed a disciplinary issue where a student had violated school regulations and was facing suspension. Despite pressure from the student’s mother to intervene due to his position, Carbonu reassured the public about the system’s fairness by emphasizing the importance of following established procedures rather than using personal influence.
“These incidents reflect broader societal challenges that we must address,” Carbonu remarked, underscoring the need for improvements in various aspects of the country and instilling hope for a better future.
The issues raised by Carbonu shed light on ongoing debates surrounding education standards and governance in Ghana, as stakeholders continue to advocate for equitable and transparent practices in school admissions and discipline, such as [specific practices].
