Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has announced the reintroduction of the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) as part of the management team in public schools, aiming to foster collaboration and improve educational outcomes.
The reintroduction of PTAs is expected to provide additional support to public schools, helping to address concerns such as infrastructure development, student discipline, and academic performance.
Previously, PTAs played a key role in shaping policies at the school level, but their influence has been reduced in recent years.
Haruna Iddrisu also reaffirms the government’s commitment to redevelop public basic schools, as he calls the state of these schools an indictment to the government.
