Accra, April 14, – The Ministry of Education has constituted a three-member committee to examine a petition by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) calling for the removal of the leadership of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
The committee is chaired by Dr Clement Abass Apaak, Deputy Minister of Education, with Professor K.T. Oduro, Technical Advisor to the Minister, and Professor Mahama Duweijua, Board Chairman of GTEC, serving as members.
A statement from the Ministry, signed by Press Secretary Hashmin Mohammed, said the committee’s findings and recommendations would be submitted to the President.
The move follows a 14-day ultimatum issued by UTAG on April 13, demanding action over a petition seeking the removal of GTEC’s Director-General, Professor Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, and his Deputy, Professor Augustine Ocloo.
UTAG has accused the current GTEC leadership of governance lapses and what it describes as a “command-and-control” approach that undermines university autonomy and academic freedom.
The Ministry said it had taken note of the concerns raised and assured stakeholders of its commitment to dialogue and peaceful resolution of the matter.
It urged all parties to cooperate with the committee as it carries out its work.
