Ghana Education News can confirm that teachers found engaging in immoral conducts with schoolgirls would not be supported by NAGRAT. The president of the National President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Mr Eric Agbe Carbonu made this known at the sixth Quadrennial Eastern Regional delegates conference on the theme: “Confronting the future of education through IT: A clarion call to teachers and managers of education,” at Nkrumah in the Eastern Region last Wednesday.
The teachers found engaging in immoral conducts with little schoolgirls would not be supported message is a timely call.
