The Ghana National Teachers Association (GNAT) in Accra has described the reopening of schools as commendable and urged parents to prepare for their children to return to school.
“In my opinion, the reopening is in order because schools cannot be closed perpetually,” said Mr. Nicholas Taylor, from the GNAT Department of Administration and Organization.
However, he asked the government to provide the necessary necessities to make the stay at the school safer for students.
Mr Taylor told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that parents did not have much time to prepare, “so the announcement should have come earlier to give parents time to prepare their rooms for reopening.” .
“Again, now that basic schools are reopening to full capacity, I don’t know how prepared the government is when it comes to distributing PPE to schools,” he said.
The GNAT official called on school authorities to ensure social distancing arrangements and a constant supply of water.
“We as teachers are prepared and willing to go back to school to continue our work. All we demand of the government is that it really put in place the necessary measures to avoid endangering the lives of students and teachers.”
Meanwhile, some parents the GNA spoke to were happy with the government’s decision, but lamented the cost of getting children back to school in such a short time.
“I ask my children to try on their uniforms this morning and, to my surprise, I really have to buy new uniforms for the three children,” said one parent.
