Teacher unions demand apology from Muntaka over WASSCE forgery comments

The teacher unions described the reported comments as offensive, misguided and derogatory, arguing that they unfairly linked the alleged falsification of WASSCE certificates to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the teaching profession.

The unions explained that recruitment into the Education Service requires applicants to possess relevant educational qualifications, complete National Service and hold a valid National Teaching Council (NTC) teaching licence.

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) have condemned comments attributed to Interior Minister Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka regarding the use of forged WASSCE results by recruits into the security services.
