Ministry of Education: Cadet Training Programme

Abstract

The idea of a cadet programme is to ensure that there is a built- in succession plan to the Ministry of Education so that there is a cadre of Human Resource Personnel to take up vacancies within the sector as the need arises. This is to guarantee that the education sector will always have an available repertoire of personnel with specialized skills. As such, the Ministry of Education has embarked on a recruitment strategy to second successful applicants from within the school structure to the Central Ministry and the Regional Education Departments in an attempt to provide them with specialized on-the-job training in leadership, management, supervision and planning so that they will be fully equipped to best serve the needs that exist within the education sector. Each batch of Cadets is expected to undergo eighteen (18) months training programme with attachments to different units with the organizational structure of the education sector. Additionally, cadets can be given specialist training in specific areas they have been identified to serve.
