Committees Don’t Promote Teachers, Action Does

CREP Africa rejects claims that the promotion promise to Deputy Directors has been fulfilled. Committees, reports, and directives do not equal implementation.

Teachers are justified in agitating, and CREP Africa stands firmly with them in demanding immediate action, transparency, and justice.

CREP Africa Statement on the Alleged Feeding Situation at Savelugu Senior High School

CREP Africa acknowledges GES’s statement on the alleged feeding situation at Savelugu SHS but finds the response inadequate. Labeling the incident as isolated is premature without published findings.

CREP Africa Calls for Update from GES on Awaso STEM SHS Food Theft Case

CREP has called on the Ghana Education Service to provide an update on investigations into the alleged theft of student food supplies at Awaso STEM SHS.

CREP stresses that student nutrition is a public trust and urges transparency, accountability, and reforms to prevent future occurrences.
