The Deputy Min­ister-designate for Education, Dr Clement Abass Apaak, says the reintroduction of Parent Teacher Association (PTA), by government is a positive step that would help revitalise the sector.

He noted that the PTAs had been jettisoned and dysfunc­tional, and promised to revive and reinstate them to their full capacity.

This, he said, would help them to take firm decisions to address the numerous challenges cur­rently confronting the education sector.

Dr Apaak, who appeared before the vetting committee of Parliament, said the PTAs helped in providing school infrastructure and other facilities, and procured vehicles to ease transportation difficulties.
