Teachers, It’s Now Official: Lesson Notes Can Be Electronically
The latest update for teachers on Lesson plan preparation: GES approves Electronically Prepared Lesson Plans For Vetting\
Teaser: Do you know, even though lesson notes can be electronic, your headteachers or SISO or the teacher can decide otherwise?
Ghana Education Service, in a press release today 21st February 2021, has officially indicated that teachers in Ghana can either write and/or present their lesson notes electronically (soft copy) or printed or manually. According to GES, the decision was in consultation with the teacher unions to phase out the manual system of writing lesson notes which many stakeholders in the education sector especially teachers complain is labourous and even archaic in the midst of the digital age we are in.
The Ghana Education Service mentioned that the nature or form of the lesson would basically be an agreement between any staff and their supervisors.
This means the preferred option agreed on by both parties would be officially acceptable.
The press release said, ‘At a discussion with the teacher unions, the consensus was that for now, the system should be made as flexible as possible.
That is, it should be based on an agreement between the teacher and his/her supervisor.’

This decision would undoubtedly have an effect on the final determination of Teacher Kwadwo’s sacking or otherwise since one of the offenses for which teacher Kwadwo was sacked in December was because he insisted on writing his lesson notes electronically. As to whether he has been vindicated or not is a question that seems to have come too early.
