The Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) has welcomed the appointment of Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu as Minister of Education designate.
In a press statement, the association applauded the former minority leader for his leadership during his previous stint in government, running the Communications and Labour Ministries.
“His proven success in managing labour relations and his sharp political acumen demonstrate his deep understanding of governance and the nuances of building consensus—a critical skill needed to navigate the complex challenges of the education sector.
“Coupled with his accomplishments at the Ministry of Communications, we are optimistic that his expertise will drive a transformative, technology-driven education system, that prepares our students for a rapidly evolving global economy,” GNAPS President, Professor Damasus Tuurosong said of the minister-designate.
“Our association is particularly hopeful that under Hon. Iddrisu’s leadership, the education sector will be harmonized to ensure the inclusion of affordable non-state education
providers.
“We trust that his administration will recognize the pivotal role private schools play in increasing enrollment, improving quality outcomes, and expanding equitable access. We believe his leadership will foster meaningful collaborations that align private education efforts with national educational goals,” the release read.
Earlier this week, Mr. Iddrisu was nominated to lead the Ministry of Education by President John Mahama.
