Government has indicated they have no intention of making further budgetary allocation for the Transforming Teacher Education and Learning Project (T’TEL) should it fail.<\/p>\n
T-TEL is a four-year \u00a319 million programme sponsored by the government of the UK designed to support the implementation of the new policy framework for Pre-Tertiary Teacher Professional Development and Management.<\/p>\n
The training programme is aimed at training about 35,000 teachers across the country to improve teaching and learning.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the inauguration of the Board of National Teaching Council in Accra yesterday, the Minister of Education, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, tasked the newly inaugurated Board to sustain the T’TEL project.<\/p>\n
“The T\u2019TEL programme aims to impact some 35,000 teachers. The strategy is so structured that it is self-sustaining. Certainly 35,000 teachers constitutes a good number to impact others significantly,”\u00a0Professor Agyemang said.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0further remarked\u00a0that\u00a0all educational institutions will be expected to adhere to standards that are\u00a0in line with\u00a0some degree of self sustainability.<\/p>\n
“We do not anticipate make further state budgetary allocations for the same reasons so I am charging sustainability. All institutions involved in the training of teachers, universities and colleges whether private or public, vocational or technical schools will be expected to adhere to the prescribed standards.”<\/p>\n
