So we feel that the aptitude test is the better option than the man to man interview that was leading to several problems,” he said. NAGRAT strikes over promotionsIn September last year, members of the National Association of Graduate Teachers put down their tools over the inability of the Ghana Education Service and the Public Services Commission to facilitate their promotions. According to the Association, the failure of the Public Service Commission to amend their records led to delays of promotional interviews. This time, they were joined by two other groups, Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) and Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT).
