    The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially reinstated Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) in all Senior High Schools (SHS), Technical, and STEM schools nationwide. This move, announced on Monday, marks a return to collaborative engagement between parents and schools in shaping student success and school development.

    According to the GES, the decision to bring back PTAs follows extensive consultations with stakeholders in the education sector, including heads of institutions, teacher unions, and parent bodies. The restored PTAs are expected to play a critical role in supporting academic improvement, infrastructure maintenance, and student welfare.

    New Guidelines to Govern PTA Operations

    The GES clarified that the reinstatement comes with revised guidelines to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in PTA operations. Schools are to hold meetings with parents to reconstitute PTA executives, and the collection of any dues must receive proper authorization and be used strictly for approved school-related development projects.

    The directive emphasizes the importance of PTA involvement in creating supportive learning environments, especially in the wake of ongoing educational reforms and infrastructure expansion under the government’s STEM and technical education agenda.
