NAGRAT Calls for Removal of NASIA Executive Director

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

NAGRAT contends that NASIA has not effectively collaborated with teacher unions and has excluded trained Ghana Education Service teachers from school inspections.

NAGRAT President, Angel Carbonu, asserts that Dr. Ampadu should be replaced with a more capable leader. He raised concerns about NASIA’s operations, questioning the appropriateness of fee collection by the inspector and the absence of quarterly inspection reports.

“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,” Carbonu stated.
