What I said has been confirmed, the quota system is back – MP

July 30, 2023

Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Education Committee, Dr. Clement Apaak says he feels justified after claiming that the quota system in our educational institutions was reinstated.

The MP for Builsa South stated earlier this year that the quota system was reinstated following a letter from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to the various schools of education directing them to accept fewer students than the previous year.

However, the government answered that the allegation was false.

The MP replied again after the Principal of St. John Bosco’s College of Education, Prof. Joseph Amikuzuno l, urged the government to discontinue paying allowances to teacher trainees in colleges of education across the country.

The Principal is claiming that the allowances force the colleges to admit below their capacities, thereby leaving facilities in the colleges underutilized and limiting the number of teachers trained even as the teacher-pupil ratio worsens.

“Last year, we had over 3,000 applicants seeking admission into St. John Bosco’s College of Education. But we could only admit 300 and even that 300, we went over a quota that the government had given us. The government asked us to admit only 270. But somehow, we admitted more.

In other words, if 11 applicants wanted to come to St. John Bosco College of Education. We could only pick 1 out of that 11. That’s how terrible it is,” he said at the 16th matriculation ceremony of the school.

“Without the allowance, we will still have students trooping into the colleges because they know that when they complete the colleges of education, they have jobs as teachers to begin with. So from my point of view, the allowance should be off. The trainees should be given loans,” he appealed.

In response to the Principal’s worries, Dr. Apaak blasted the government and wondered why they described his claim as incorrect at the time he raised it.

“Early this year I said the quota system was back after a letter to Colleges of Education from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) directed the schools to take less students than the year before.

Gov’t officials denied my assertion, claiming that the directive had nothing to do with the challenges gov’t is facing with paying allowances.

The concocted lie was that the Principals of the Colleges asked for reduced numbers due to challenges to do with academic and residential accommodation.”
