The Ministry of Education has established a three-member committee to investigate allegations raised by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) against the leadership of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
The committee, chaired by Deputy Education Minister Clement Apaak, includes Professor K.T. Oduro, Technical Advisor to the Ministry, and Professor Mahama Duweijua, Board Chairman of GTEC. It has been tasked with reviewing the concerns raised by UTAG and submitting recommendations to President John Dramani Mahama.
The move follows a recent press conference by UTAG, where the association called for the removal of GTEC’s Director-General and Deputy Director-General, issued a 14-day ultimatum to the government, and demanded the withdrawal of certain directives it deems improperly issued.
In a statement signed by Press Secretary Hashmin Mohammed, the Ministry urged all stakeholders to cooperate with the committee, reaffirming its commitment to dialogue and resolving tensions within the tertiary education sector.
