The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) and the Association of Principals of Technical Institutes (APTI) have appealed to the feuding factions in the North to ceasefire to ensure peace to prevail and to pave the way for effective teaching and learning in schools in the area.
They expressed gratitude to the government for its efforts to resolve the conflict situation in some parts of the region
“We appeal to the feuding factions to co-operate with the government to create a congenial atmosphere for quality education delivery in the area.”
This is contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the 10th joint Northern conference of CHASS and APTI here.
The heads noted that without peace and unity, education cannot flourish and called on the people to say no to conflict to enhance education growth and development.
“In order to have enough contact hours and minimise interruptions in the academic calendar, the government should as a matter of concern and priority, release feeding grants to the Northern schools at least two weeks to the reopening date.” the heads said.
The communiqué said to make the Computerised School Selection and Placement System of admission into Senior High Schools and Technical Institutions in the North more meaningful and effective; the government should turn more day schools into boarding schools.
It suggested that for day Senior High Schools to be made more attractive, one hot meal a day for all students be introduced so that quality education would be achieved in all schools.
The communiqué urged the government to put in place a mechanism to motivate teachers in order to attract and retain qualified teachers in northern schools to ensure quality education.
It appealed to the government to establish more training colleges in the north to train more teachers to promote quality education.
On information and communication technology infrastructure, the heads appealed to the government to extend electricity to schools in the north which don’t have power.
The heads also appealed to the government to provide reliable means of transport – pick-up and buses to the schools that do not have them for effective running of the schools.
