BACKGROUND
The Ghana Education Service (GES) in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NaCCA) in 2021 scheduled a 5-Day non-residential training workshop for all JHS to SHS1 public school teachers in the country. The training workshop was later postponed due to factors that were best known to the GES.
The initial date that was slated by the GES for the nationwide programme was 11th to 15th January 2021 but was postponed as initially stated. It was a non-residential 5-Day workshop with a daily sitting allowance and T&T allowance.
It should also be noted that the CPPD for KG and primary schools was been successfully implemented in September 2019, after a one week intensive training and workshop for teachers in Ghana.
