Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) have been fully reinstated in all pre-tertiary schools across Ghana.

This follows a directive from President John Dramani Mahama and aims to strengthen collaboration between parents, teachers, and communities in delivering quality education.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) in a press announcement yesterday indicated that all Heads of Public Senior High, Technical, and STEM Schools have been instructed to operationalise the return of PTAs without delay.

This move, the Service says, underscores a renewed focus on parental and community involvement in the educational landscape.

Further guidelines detailing the structure, roles, and financial accountability mechanisms for PTAs will be issued by the GES in due course.

These measures, the statement explained, are intended to promote transparency, uniformity, and efficiency in the operations of PTAs nationwide.

Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations for the GES, emphasised the Service’s expectation of support from all stakeholders to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of the policy.

Educational reforms introduced by the previous government eliminated Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) to ensure that neither students nor parents bore any financial responsibilities at the secondary school level. As a result, PTAs were dissolved and replaced with Parents Associations (PAs), except in private institutions.

This shift significantly reduced teachers’ involvement in school management, as PAs lacked the level of engagement and decision-making authority that PTAs traditionally provided.

The move drew criticism from stakeholders in the education sector, who argued that abolishing PTAs weakened teacher participation and eroded the support system that benefited students.
