President John Mahama wants schools to bring back parent groups that help run daily operations. He met with teacher leaders Wednesday at his office to discuss education problems. The president said pushing parents away from school decisions was wrong. He believes communities should have more say about their local schools. Parents used to help schools through special groups called PTAs.

The government changed these parent groups back in 2019 when free high school started. Officials worried parents were spending money the wrong way at schools. They made new rules that limited what parent groups could do. Many parents lost their voice in school decisions after these changes happened. Some groups warned this would hurt community support for education.

Mahama promised teachers he would fix the parent group problem. He also said new schools will come with houses for teachers to live nearby. The president wants to help teachers buy homes through a special payment plan. He talked about improving teacher retirement benefits and salaries. The president said happy teachers make better learning for all students.
