A significant development has occurred within the Ghana Education Service (GES) as a group of employees has broken away from the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) to form a new association. Apexnewsgh reports
The Association of Non-Teaching Staff, comprising over 3,000 members, seeks official recognition from both the GES and the government to effectively represent and address the unique needs of its members.
The decision to form this new association arose from a perceived gap in representation at the tertiary level, prompting a desire to establish an independent platform solely dedicated to the welfare and advocacy of non-teaching staff. According to Daniel Mensah, the general secretary of the newly formed association, “We have seen that TEWU is primarily focused on the tertiary level, and we needed to define our stand within the education sector.”
The Association of Non-Teaching Staff aims to ensure that the voices and concerns of non-teaching staff are heard and understood by the government and relevant authorities. “By establishing this association, we aim to ensure that the voices and concerns of non-teaching staff are heard and understood by the government and relevant authorities,” Mensah emphasized. “And so, the Association of Non-Teaching Staff under the GES has come to stay.”
The group intends to actively engage with the GES and governmental bodies to address issues related to their employment conditions, career progression, and overall well-being.
This development marks a significant shift in the representation of non-teaching staff within the GES, and it will be interesting to see how this new association will impact the education sector in Ghana.
