According to them, the Education Minister made the announcement on Thursday, July 30, 2020, adding that rumors were circulating even before NAPO came to make it public.
The misleading portal’s claimed Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh said it will be better for schools to be reopened to students than to see them roaming unnecessarily as the Government of Ghana ease the COVID-19 restrictions.
The National Inspectorate Board (NIB) however has urged it’s relevant stakeholders, students and the general public to disregard such purporting reports, until a Presidential directive is issued to indicate so.
Meanwhile, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo in his 14th televised nation’s address said the government is in talks with the stakeholders in the education sector to determine the conditions for re-opening of schools after the 2020 BECE and WASSCE for school are concluded in mid-September.
