The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has boldly rejected the appointment of Professor Smile Gavua Dzisi as Deputy Director-General for Management Services at the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Professor Smile Gavua Dzisi a former Vice-Chancellor of Koforidua Technical University appointment has been opposed by NAGRAT.
According to NAGRAT, Professor Smile Gavua Dzisi despite her academic qualifications, lacks the necessary professional background to occupy the position.
Angel Carbonu who spoke to CITI News stated the Ghana Education Service is not an extension of a political office.
He asserted that it is a professional institution hence they will not tolerate the appointment of somebody who is not a practitioner within the service space.
Speaking to Citi News, NAGRAT’s National President, Angel Carbonu, stated, “The person who was removed from that position was a professional teacher who rose to the rank of a regional director and was appointed as director of management services. The Ghana Education Service is not an extension of a political office.
“It is a professional institution. It is within the Public Services and we will not tolerate the appointment of somebody who is not a practitioner within the service space.
Angel Carbonu, further called on the government to reverse the decision.
“We are calling on the government to withdraw the appointment immediately. She is a professor. She operates very well in the university or the technical universities, but certainly not in the Ghana Education Service”, he stated boldly.
Meanwhile, the Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) are still on strike in protest against the appointment of the new Births and Deaths Registrar.
CLOGSAG are on strike after the John Mahama administration refused to heed their earlier warning to remove the appointment of Samuel Adom Botchway as the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry.
According to CLOGSAG, Samuel Adom Botchway a politically exposed person is still at post despite reports suggesting John Mahama had bowed to pressure to reassign him.
