16 Regional Directors of Education sign Performance Contract with GES as part of efforts to deliver quality education service and to set targets and performance expectations for managers of education at the regional levels.
The Ghana Education Service led by the Director-General, Professor Kwasi Opoku Amankwa took the regional directors through what is required of them and indicators that the education ministry will be looking out for.
The climax of the event was the signing of the Performance Contract by the 16 Regional Directors of Education.
The Performance Contract will cascade down the chain of command and at all levels of leadership throughout the education service.
It is expected that the Regional Directors will sign the same with the District Directors and Heads of Senior High Schools.
The District Directors will also sign the Performance Contract with all Heads of Basic Schools in their District as part of efforts to improve education deliveries at all levels.
After this exercise, each head teacher is also expected to sign a Performance Contract with teachers in his or her school.
The Performance Contract is to enhance the delivery of key educational outcomes in the teaching and learning process, however, the headteacher would not be seen as the sole target of GES to single-handedly deliver these outcomes. This explains why the GES has signed the PC first with regional education directors.
Present at the brief ceremony were, the Deputy Director-General in Charge of Quality and Access, Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh, Head of the Public Relations Unit, Ms Cassandra Twum Ampofo, and Mr. Robert Intseful, Budget Officer.
