The team was at NSS secretariat in Accra, to learn about the NSS operations.
Mr. Edzii said” the scheme is was a call for an individual to serve his or her nation, and it is an for graduate of obligation for tertiary institution who are citizens of Ghana to render such a service.”
The National Service is to provide the personnel with exposure, sense of civic duty and voluntarism, besides helping them to acquire experience and national orientation and Mr. Edzii added that it.
“Helps to combat crime, hunger, illiteracy and diseases in the country”.
Mr. Alex Tetteh-Enyo, Minister of Education, told the delegation earlier that the NSS provided teachers, especially to deprived areas of the country.

It is very good for this law to be rigidly enforced. But my worry is about trained teachers in the teaching field who enter the university to upgrade themselves. Are they also bond to do national service? Please throw more light on this. Thanks.
