GES clarifies NCPTA, Prospectus Ghana Limited partnership

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has clarified a reported partnership between the National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTA) and Prospectus Ghana Limited. The GES emphasized that the NCPTA does not have the authority to represent the service, public schools, parents, or students, nor can it enter into commercial agreements on their behalf.

The Service also clarified that Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) function at the individual school level and engage directly with local authorities on matters concerning learner development and school welfare. The GES confirmed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Prospectus Ghana Limited for introducing educational products and services to schools, but stressed that purchasing these items is voluntary and does not make the acquisition of Prospectus Ghana products compulsory.

The GES remains committed to protecting parents and learners from unauthorized financial demands and directed school authorities, parents, and third-party vendors to ensure that all communications and arrangements comply with official GES guidelines.
