Lack of Innovation Crippling Quality Education in Ghana, GNAT Says

Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) in-charge of professional development, Ms Gifty Apanbil, on Thursday said lack of innovation in the educational sector is affecting the delivery of quality teaching.

"Some people will want to be innovative but our system is such that it does not allow innovation and once it does not allow innovation, people who have the urge to innovate things are crippled and frustrating and they leave the profession.

"Majority of teachers are leaving the job because of frustration...," she observed.

She said quality education delivery entailed quality teachings and learning environment, infrastructure and well-motivated children prepared to learn and supported by their parents as well as a supportive community.
