The Ministry of Education has debunked claims making the rounds on the social media that the Minister of Education, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, had directed heads of senior high schools and basic schools to postpone the re-opening date of schools to allow for all pupil teachers to be sacked.
A release by the ministry has condemned such messages which it said were being circulated by �faceless elements� in the society.
The ministry therefore assured all heads of institutions and directors of education, �We have not amended our traditional communication channels.
�For the avoidance of doubt, the Ministry of Education hereby reiterates that re-opening is still slated for the 16th of September, 2014. Also, Government has not taken any policy decision to embark on a wholesale dismissal of pupil teachers.�
