Teacher unions demand apology from Muntaka over WASSCE forgery comments

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) have condemned Interior Minister Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka's comments regarding the use of forged WASSCE results by security service recruits. The teacher unions deemed the remarks offensive, misguided, and derogatory, arguing that they unfairly linked the alleged falsification of WASSCE certificates to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the teaching profession.

The unions urged Muntaka to retract the comments and apologize to teachers, emphasizing their commitment to constructive criticism and rejecting the notion of being made scapegoats for recruitment and verification issues.
