NAGRAT Calls for Dissolution of National Schools Inspectorate Agency

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has demanded that the National Schools Inspectorate Agency (NASIA) be dissolved and given a thorough examination.

While collecting money from private schools, NASIA has not overseen the upgrade of standards and infrastructure in schools, according to NAGRAT President Angel Carbonu.

The new Education Act 2020, Act 1023, was recently passed by Parliament with the intention of establishing regulatory agencies for the education industry.

These groups are supposed to create national policies aimed at raising the standard of education in the nation. NASIA is one such organization that oversees school infrastructure upgrades and standards maintenance.

Mr. Carbonu recommended that NASIA be promptly dissolved by the government because of its lack of cooperation with teacher unions.

In an interview with Adom News, he stressed the need for a review of NASIA’s entire concept, as it has not achieved its intended purpose and teacher unions have not had the opportunity to address educational challenges with the authority, thus hindering efforts to maintain school standards.

Mr. Carbonu also criticized the Ministry of Education for not recruiting qualified educationists for NASIA.

“We need to examine the qualifications and competencies of those running NASIA to determine whether they are adequately suited to inspect education,” he said.

Mr. Carbonu has called for an immediate review of NASIA’s operations to achieve better results.
