The meeting on Tuesday which had the President of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) also in attendance was to discuss a possible reinstatement of the 11 headteachers interdicted in the ongoing first year Senior High School (SHS) students admission.
GNAT General Secretary, Thomas Musah, shared these insights from the meeting in an exclusive conversation with Adom News.
Mr Musah emphasised the need for a constructive dialogue aimed at finding lasting solutions to the challenges posed by the alleged illegal fees.
The meeting, he stated proved to be a pivotal moment in the pursuit of a harmonious educational environment.
“Teaching and learning thrive in a conducive atmosphere,” asserted Mr. Musah, underlining the importance of resolving the fee controversy for the benefit of both educators and students alike.
The GNAT General Secretary also commended Dr Nkansah for his willingness to engage in dialogue and find an amicable resolution.
Acknowledging the fruitful nature of the meeting, Mr Musah appealed to the GES boss to consider tempering justice with mercy, concerning the interdicted headteachers.
This compassionate call underscores the understanding that, in complex situations, a balanced approach can lead to fair and just outcomes.
As the education community awaits the outcome of these diplomatic efforts, the story unfolds as a testament to the power of dialogue in resolving disputes within the education sector.
