GNAT President links rising basic school exam failures to politics and delayed capitation grants

The President of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Rev. Isaac Owusu, says the growing rate of exam failures among basic school pupils is tied to the heavy politicisation of education and persistent delays in releasing the capitation grant. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he argued that government alone cannot run basic education effectively without meaningful support from parents. He added that moves to restrict Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) contributions have only made conditions in schools worse. Rev. Owusu explained that the capitation grant is nowhere near enough to fund school operations, considering that it has to cover exams, sports, meetings, minor repairs, and teaching materials. He revealed that no basic school receives more than GH₵1,500 per term, which creates serious challenges for schools trying to provide quality education. He warned that pupils will continue to struggle in WAEC […]
