The members of the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) in the country have been urged to ensure that they employ trained and qualified teachers in their schools.

She announced this when she spoke as the Special Guest at the maiden meeting of the Teshie Zone Two of GNAPS at Teshie in the Greater Accra Region.
The meeting brought together all GNAPS members who previously were part of the former Krowo/Ledzokuku Municipality in Teshie/Nungua after the separation of the two municipalities.
Among other things, the meeting was aimed at fostering unity among the members and addressing the importance of being together as Private Schools.
Prioritise teamwork
Mrs Tetteh urged GNAPS members to prioritise teamwork, collaboration, and mutual respect since collective success was greater than the sum of its parts.
The Municipal Director stated that “Let me say that being part of this community means being part of something bigger than us. It means embracing diversity, promoting inclusivity, and lifting each other up. When we stand together, we create a foundation of strength, resilience, and empathy”
She added that “Let me assure you that together, you can achieve greatness. Together, you can make a difference. Continue to build a community that is supportive, inclusive, and empowering. A community where every student feels seen, heard, and valued”.
Avoid malpractices
Mrs Tetteh urged GNAPS to educate its members on the need to avoid indulging in any form of examination malpractice since such perpetrators, when caught, would be dealt with drastically.
The Greater Accra Regional Director for the National School Inspectorate Authority (NASIA), Madam Judith Zabrina-Anyagre, spent some time educating the GNAPS members on some critical issues they need to look out for in their schools to promote effective teaching and learning.
She pledged NASIA’s readiness to collaborate with all stakeholders in the education space for the good of the country.
The Teshie Zone Two Chairman of GNAPS, Sofo Emmanuel S. A. Ashiao, cautioned the GNAPS members to avoid any acts that would affect the reputation of all private schools in the country.
