Today, January 10, 2022, private basic schools have reopened.<\/p>\n 3. When will public basic schools reopen? We need to know. <\/p>\n 4. 44,000 teachers out of 284,000 Basic school teachers left the teaching profession in 2021 alone.<\/p>\n 5. This is 15%, the highest in 20 years.<\/p>\n 6. Why did they walk away from the classroom; and how soon will they be replaced?<\/p>\n 3. Capitation Grant is in arrears for four tranches (2 each for 2019\/2020 & 2020\/2021 academic years).<\/p>\n And because of this, heads borrowed in order to keep the schools running because that’s the only source of income for Basic schools. <\/p>\n When will the arrears be paid?<\/p>\n 4. No textbooks in our public basic schools two years after the implementation of the new standards-based, yet we claim to be implementing a standards-based curriculum?<\/p>\n These are just a few of the issues that need the immediate attention of the government and the President. <\/p>\n The immediate issues affecting secondary and tertiary education will also be highlighted in due time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr Clement Apaak is deputy ranking member on Parliament’s education committee A Deputy Ranking Member on the Education Select Committee of Parliament, Dr Clement Apaak has wondered when public basic schools will reopen.
