Bolgatanga Municipal Directorate of
Education abolishes shift system
Bolgatanga, March 20, GNA - Mr Anthony Aziabah, Bolgatanga
Municipal Director of Education has directed heads of basic
schools within the municipality to stop the shift system
with immediate effect.
He noted that under the shift system, contact hours between
teachers and pupils were limited and could not achieve any
effective teaching and learning.
Mr Aziabah gave the directive at a meeting with the
Parent-Teacher-Association (PTA) and members of the School
Management Committee of Bolgatanga Methodist Primary and
Junior Secondary School at Bolgatanga on Monday.
He commended the PTA for its immense support to the school,
and urged parents to keep up the self-help spirit to attract
assistance from NGOs and other stakeholders.
Mr Aziabah said the Capitation Grant was to enhance school
enrolment, payment of sports and cultural levies in addition
to undertaking minor repairs and providing teaching and
learning material.
"The grant should never be used for capital projects because
that would be a misapplication," he warned.
However, Mr Aziabah said in spite of the grant parents
should continue to assist schools in their communities
through PTA levies and other sources approved by all
members.
