Educationist, Matthew Nyaaba says the porous nature of the Ghana Education Service (GES), system coupled with weak supervision of teachers in public schools has been identified as the major causes of fallen standards of education in the country.
“Most teachers knowing that they were not strictly supervised do not either attend school regularly to teach or render poor teaching to the school children that is affecting educational standards” he disclosed this on Plan B FM ‘Ebaanosen’ with Bohyeba Afriyie.
Matthew Nyaaba, who is also a lecturer at the Gambaga College of Education, stressed that the lack of effective supervisory role in Public Schools is a serious problem affecting the quality of education.
“Public schools have more teachers than Private Schools yet the standards of public schools are falling abysmally whilst that of private schools continues to improve. This is because in the Private Schools there is effective monitoring of teachers. GES should ensure that this is replicated in private schools”.
He called on the Ghana Education Service to ensure that its supervisory function was strengthened by ensuring that Circuit Supervisors visit schools to supervise teachers.
