Dear GES Director General, Intervention Money

Dear GES Director General, Intervention Money

Dear GES Director General, you are receiving a good rating among teachers for how you are handling the sharing of the academic intervention. The academic intervention money has made some teachers become enemies for demanding the right thing is done in the best interest of all. The demand for the right thing to be done in good faith has made such teachers be victimized allegedly in certain instances. Others were branded and overlooked in some schools in most cases. However, your strategy to disburse the money has shown you have a better insight.

Highlights

1. A letter signed on behalf of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service has indicated that an academic intervention fund has been released to GES for transfer to senior high schools in the country.

2. However, the letter asked management of the senior high schools to distribute the allocated money among staff and a copy of such distribution must be sent to the headquarters of GES before the fund is released to the schools.

3. According to the letter, no staff should benefit from more than one category of the sharing formula.

4. Sharing formula:

a. Day schools: 5% to management, 75% to teaching staff and 20% to non-teaching staff

b. Boarding schools: 5% to management, 70% to teaching staff and 25% to non-teaching staff

5. The letter also asked schools that wished to vary any aspect of the sharing to seek permission from headquarters.

6. Previously, some members of management benefited from the teaching staff percentage. While the accountant who is part of management also benefits from the non-teaching staff percentage.

7. To compound the issue, some management vary the sharing formula at their own wish.

8. Also, some management decides to reserve a portion of the whole intervention money for any purpose they deem fit, which never gets accounted for.

9. The new directive means no portion of the intervention money can be reserved for any purpose.

10. Also, management of schools can not vary the sharing formula at their own wish.

11. Finally, members of management can not enjoy multiple categories to the disadvantage of others.

Conclusion

Dear GES Director-General, you must be commended for this initiative to prevent members of the teaching fraternity from being their own enemies. Cheating each other and people raise objections, then they are branded and victimized. However, it is left to be seen whether your initiative will follow through to the end or you will change your mind later.
