Close Down schools and you will see your smoothness level - Private School Owners
The aftermath of the lockdown and closure of schools on private school teachers is disheartening as more and more teachers in private schools are feeling the impact of the lockdown. Many of these teachers whose contribution towards building a literate generation are among the most hit in this COVID-19 period. In a related development, owners of basic and second cycle private schools across Ghana are requesting for a suspension of their quota of SSNIT contributions for their employees’ social security following the closure of schools on the back of coronavirus outbreak in the country. In their current circumstance, Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) said their members are not only “unable to pay their employees’ salaries, many cannot make statutory payments in respect of SSNIT”. This is because private schools depend on fees which parents cannot pay as their wards are at home.
