The newly elected President of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Philippa Larsen has vowed to flush out unqualified teachers from the field in order to regain the profession’s lost glory.
According to her, there is the need to flush out unprofessional teachers from the system in order to aid the processes leading up to the certification of qualified teachers in Ghana.
“I want the maximum support and respect for the Ghanaian teacher, so some people who don’t qualify as teachers but have found their way into the profession, we will weed them out,” she said while thanking members of the association after her election as the President of the Teachers Association.
She said: “We will get the right people who are teachers in order to enhance the proper image of the teaching profession, and this will make our certification as professionals smooth”.
Philippa Larsen used the opportunity to call on members of the Association who have left the Association to rejoin the family.
