The President of GNAT Philippa Larsen who revealed the meeting to the media.
According to her, Today’s meeting backed by data from the Ghana Health Service will inform the President on the decision to take.
She said everyone is concerned about the safety and protection and so today’s meeting will decide as to whether schools should reopen in phases saying she wish schools will be open in phases because of the cases that are going up.
According to her, the safety of the Ghanaian teacher is paramount.
She said If school will be open in phases then the number of children must be looked at per each class and so we expect cabinet to consider all these.
