The workshop, organized by the Nanumba South District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) on the theme: “Distribution, Management and Utilization of the Capitation Grant”, and attended by head teachers and other stakeholders, were not only sensitized, but also taken through disbursement, management control, record keeping, monitoring and evaluation as well as auditing process.
The Northern Regional Chief Accountant of GES, Charles Adama who facilitated the workshop, in a presentation stated, that government is committed to the course of empowering and supporting teachers in their quest to promoting quality education in the country.
This he noted, had necessitated the increment in the Capitation Grant to take care of the abolished school levies and fees so as to cater for school repairs, cultural and sporting activities as well as reduce financial burden on parents.
Mr. Adama stated that the purpose of the Capitation Grant is to increase enrolment and maintain retention and therefore, it behoove on District Directors of GES and head teachers of basic schools to effectively play their respective roles to ensure its implementation to enhance quality education for all.
He called on District Directors and Assistant Directors of GES to provide the oversight support towards the implementation of School Improvement Plan (SPIP) for all schools in the district based on compliance and requirements.
The Regional Chief Accountant, therefore, appealed to head teachers to keep accurate financial records of all monies received and disbursed with appropriate receipts for effective review and auditing.
In his remarks, the Nanumba South District Director of Education, Paul Kunde commended Mr. Charles Adama for facilitating in this entire important workshop, which he believed would help change things for the better.
He, therefore, advised the participants to translate whatever they have acquired and turn it into productive use.
