This time, we do not want to go by the reactionary approach where a government official will speak, and then we would be called upon to respond. We also want to give them what we want and then put these things into your manifesto. We want to give them a particular document to factor into their manifesto,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Musah underscored that the Association\u2019s decision to lead in formulating policy proposals showed its commitment to safeguarding the welfare of its members.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that by directly influencing the content of political party manifestos, GNAT aimed to ensure that the interests of educators were duly prioritized and addressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSovereignty resides in the people. It is in the interest of the people that you are there. For the welfare of our members, we are putting some documents together. So now when it comes to accountability and we are referring, we can also refer to the kind of demand we made on them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the timeline for releasing the policy document, the GNAT General Secretary assured that the document would be released by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll things being equal, we are sure that by the close of this week, we should be able to communicate with the political parties,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is set to release its policy proposals aimed at guiding political parties in shaping their manifestos ahead of this year\u2019s general elections.
