NON-TEACHERS BENEFITING FROM ‘ONE TEACHER ONE LAPTOP INITIATIVE'.
It has come to the notice of The Ghana Education Service that the “ One teacher one laptop project" is rather been directed to people outside the teaching profession in the Ashanti Region.
According to management, this was detected from Metropolitan Municipal and District Directors of Education submitting names of persons who do not qualify to benefit from the project.
The category of people who were included wrongfully are non-teaching staff, retired or separated staff. Some, according to the GES were also identified to have been assigned fake IDs.
A statement signed by the Ashanti Regional Director of Education, Mary Owusu Afriyie, said the conduct amounts to fraud. The statement also emphasized that “District Directors of Education are requested to ask Headteachers to be responsible for the names being submitted".
District Directors of Education were requested to validate the list which has been sent and submit an updated list by close of work on Tuesday, 31.
The statement reiterated that only Junior High School teachers are supposed to be shortlisted for the project at the moment.
