Over 3k National Service personnel posted to teach in Senior High Schools undergo training

The National Service Authority (NSA) says it will no longer allow personnel posted to the teaching field to just go to the classrooms without shaping their teaching skills.

This follows observation by the Authority that, most personnel without teaching background fail to deliver to satisfaction when sent to the classroom.

NSA has thus partnered with National Teaching Council and Ministry of Education to train service personnel who have been posted to the senior high schools to support teaching and learning process.

“The training will take the service personnel through methods of teachings and shape their teaching skills, so they contribute efficiently to the discharge of their duties”, Executive Director of the National Service Authority, Osei Assibey Antwi told the media at the training of over 3,000 personnel in Kumasi.

The National Service Authority says its focus is deployment for employment to reduce graduate unemployment in the country.

“It’s not only about the knowledge that is being bequeathed to them but there is opportunity for them to do a distance program and earn a diploma in education which can allow the personnel to continue teaching after service.

“We now don’t want to deploy people to where they’ve not studied”, the NSA boss explained.

Mr Assibey entreated personnel to accept postings especially to where their services are needed the most.
