Some teacher unions have since been calling for their reinstatement, describing as unfair the treatment meted out to them.
But, in an interview on Accra-based Class FM on Monday, January 8, Chairman of the GES Council, Michael Nsowah, said the interdicted heads have finally been pardoned.
“We are done with their case and many of them have been pardoned and we don’t have any [issues],” he said.
The General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), David Ofori added that: “In some of the cases there was complete miscommunication, there were others that you couldn’t hold the headmasters directly and others, the evidence was not that strong and we thought that going forward it will be in the interest of all of us to work in an atmosphere of peace to see the success of the programme.”
