The directive, which was jointly signed by Professor Salifu Tahiru Azeko, Inspector-General of Schools at NaSIA, and Prof Yayra Dzakadie, Director-General of NaCCA, follows observations that some schools are engaging in the use of teaching resources that have not been approved by NaCCA.

According to the these regulatory bodies, the use of unapproved materials contravenes national education policies and undermines the quality of teaching and learning in schools.

They emphasised that all pre-tertiary institutions, both public and private, must use only textbooks and instructional resources that had been sanctioned by NaCCA.

These approved materials had been developed through rigorous review processes to ensure alignment with Ghana’s national curriculum standards, they explained.

Schools, are therefore, required to procure and use only NaCCA-approved teaching and learning resources.

The regulatory bodies reminded heads of institutions that they were responsible for ensuring strict compliance with this requirement and thus encouraged to conduct periodic audits of all instructional materials used in their schools.

It urged parents and guardians to verify whether their wards’ schools were adhering to the directive.

They should report any cases of non-compliance to NaSIA, the release said.

They called for collective vigilance and responsibility among school authorities, educators, and families to maintain the integrity and standard of education.
