General News of Thursday, 6 February 2020Source: Ekow Vincent Assafuah, ContributorEducation Ministry reacts to Mahama's claims of NPP govt 'gagging' teachersDirector of Communications Ekow Vincent AssafuahThe attention of the Ministry of Education has been drawn to a news item carried by some media portals, in which former President John Mahama is said to have criticized government for allegedly gagging teachers. This is said to be at a meeting yesterday with the leadership of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT). In all its reforms since taking office, this government has been particular about engaging all its stakeholders, including the various teacher unions. It is worthy to note that the former President’s record in office in the education sector is the worst since independence, to put it mildly. Why, was this because he was gagging teachers and teacher unions?
