It is clearly impossible today for any individual to learn a job or enter a profession and remain in it for ten or so years with his or her skills basically unchanged. Societies and organisations including the school system change and grow. It is in this light that in-service training is not only desirable but also an important activity to which the Government and the school system must commit human and fiscal resources if it is to maintain a viable and knowledgeable staff. Organising in-service training for teachers is of paramount importance if they are to be effective in achieving the goals and objectives of the educational system. This paper closely examines the importance of in-service training in Education in Ghana. It also identifies problems that plague the organization of in-service training and offers suggestions for improvement.

In 1993, a team of political scientists launched an 11-city study of school reform, centering on the concept of civic capacity. In the field of urban education, the 11-city study found places ranging from those with low levels of civic capacity in which diffuse and scattered concerns never became focused and synergistic to those with relatively high levels of civic capacity in which key actors came together in concerted action. Community leaders develop civic capacity to respond to major community-wide problems with a high potential for controversy. An ever-present potential for conflict means that a spirit of cooperation can quickly erode, and civic capacity differs from micro versions of social capital. To be lasting, civic capacity needs an institutional foundation for interaction among elites and a "grassroots" base through which ordinary citizens are engaged.
