Use Capitation grant to purchase teaching and learning materials

Basic public schools that have not receive their teaching and learning materials have been asked to use part of their Capitation Grant to purchase them for smooth operations in their various schools.
The Ministry of Education says the grant is not meant for the allowances of teachers alone, but can be use for purchasing of teaching and learning materials for pupils.
Almost one month after the re-opening of schools, many basic school pupils are yet to receive the full complement of their learning materials.
The situation has compelled teachers of some of the schools to improvise to prevent academic work from being interrupted.
But the Ministry of Education has promised that all the 22,000 basic schools across the country will receive their teaching and learning materials by the end of this month.
The Head of Public Relations at the Ministry of Education, Mr Paul Krampah, told Frontline that that some schools had already received the full complement of their materials.
He explained that with the exception of the Central Region, all the regions have received their supply, while Central Region will receive its supply by the end of the week.
