Regional Stakeholder Engagements
To ensure that stakeholders are well-informed and understand the operations of the Authority, NaSIA has been embarking on a nationwide campaign to create awareness of its existence, mandate and core services. This awareness campaign started with countless media engagements mostly in Greater Accra Region. Subsequently, the Authority has from April had eleven (11) engagements in nine (9) Regions thus Ashanti, Central, Western, Western North, Eastern, Volta, Ahafo, Bono, and Bono East Regions. These engagements witnessed a greater number of participants who were eager to understand and now gladly appreciate the Authority’s existence, processes, and its five core services, namely; School Establishment, School Licensing, School Inspections, School Monitoring and Evaluation, and School Ownership Transitions.
We seized the opportunity to highlight intensively our school licensing requirements and renewal process. To this end, a licensing help desk was mounted to assist participants begin their school licensing process and make all enquires pertaining to the Authority. Recognizing the vital role that stakeholders play towards attaining the highest quality of education in the country, a considerable amount of time was dedicated to questions and answers.
The Inspector-General of Schools, Dr. Haggar Hilda Ampadu on her part addressed all concerns raised by the stakeholders present. Participants were also given the opportunity to make suggestions and comments where necessary. All these were in an effort to equip participants with the requisite knowledge and information about the Authority so that they can act as ambassadors during local meetings and aid in disseminating the mandate of NaSIA among their colleagues.
