Abstract
The article is an excerpt of field work for MPhil thesis sponsored by Government of Ghana - This study adopted the qualitative research approach with observation and interviewing to examine the policy and practice of school inspection in the Ghanaian basic school system. The study revealed that inspection is an integral part of Ghana's educational system. It emerged that the system of monitoring schools is governed by an "evolving" policy. The Ghana Education Service has inadequate inspection personnel; schools assigned to inspectors are too many; and, transportation problems prevent inspectors from paying regular visits to schools. This has led to a kind of teacher culture where everyone gets by with the minimum; teaching ineffectiveness; and low pupil learning achievement. Augmenting the numbers and equipping them with the requisite logistics will promote effective monitoring towards quality basic education. - Nana Afia Opoku-Asare / Government of Ghana |
