CETAG Calls for Revocation of Librarian’s Appointment as Acting Vice Principal of Dambai College of Education
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has called for the immediate revocation of the appointment of a librarian as Acting Vice Principal of Dambai College of Education.
Concern Over Appointment
According to CETAG, the appointment has raised serious concerns among members, as the position of Vice Principal is traditionally reserved for senior academic staff within the teaching faculty.
The association argues that appointing a librarian to such a role undermines established academic structures and standards within Colleges of Education.
Demand for Immediate Action
CETAG is demanding that the relevant authorities:
- Revoke the appointment without delay
- Adhere strictly to established procedures for appointing academic leaders
- Ensure that qualified academic staff are considered for such positions
The association insists that failure to address the issue could set a bad precedent for other colleges.
Protection of Academic Standards
CETAG emphasized the need to protect the integrity and professionalism of teacher education institutions in Ghana.
According to the group, leadership roles in academic institutions should reflect experience in teaching, research, and academic administration.
Call for Dialogue
While calling for the revocation, CETAG has also urged stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve the issue and prevent further tensions within the institution.
Conclusion
The situation at Dambai College of Education has sparked discussions about leadership appointments and academic standards in teacher training institutions. Stakeholders are expected to take swift action to ensure that proper procedures are followed and institutional integrity is maintained.
