Such actions, according to the teachers, fall flat of GES own rules as GES is sidestepping qualified people in the area who have passed GES interview and are thus more qualified to head such schools.

Speaking at a joint press conference at Apam with Old Students of Mozano Senior High School  also in the Gomoa West area, spokesperson of the group Fiifi Sam accused GES of engaging in partisanship behavior by appointing novices and unqualified people.

According to Fiifi Sam, these people’s records in their previous jobs show they do not have what it takes to head schools as their competence is not just questionable but they are also morally bankrupt.

Teachers and former students, for instance, accused the GES of appointing Madam Perpetual Praise Amegashie, an Assistant Headmistress of Gomoa Secondary Technical School as the substantive head of the Mozano Senior High School when she falls short of the requisite Deputy Director grade to head a secondary school.

Amegashie is an Assistant Director 1 who is yet to attend GES interview to ascertain her qualification to the grade of Deputy Director 2.

Fiifi Sam explained that Madam Amegashie’s appointment is politically motivated as she is the Gomoa West Constituency Chairperson of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and is known to be linked with officialdom be it at the GES or government.

He added that there are a lot of deputy directors in both the Mozano School and district but GES is intentionally ignoring such hard working, competent and qualified deputy directors to head vacant posts in secondary schools in the area.

The group therefore calls on all stakeholders in the education delivery process to as a matter of urgency to intervene and correct the anomaly being perpetuated by GES as such negative policies are not only eroding the commitment of teachers in the area.

‘But ultimately destroying educational delivery in the area per the actions of some self-centered individuals who would stop at nothing but satisfy their cronies at the expense of quality leadership and performance in the district,’ they said.
