Deputy Ranking Member on the Education Committee of Parliament, Dr. Clement Apaak has stated that Ghanaian teachers are not happy because their conditions of service are not optimum as the country is celebrating World Teacher Day.
“This is why we must feel obligated as a people to ensure that the right conditions are in place to elicit the very best from our Teachers,’’ the legislator said in a statement.
The statement affirmed that the major challenge in recent times is the lack of textbooks over two years after the introduction of the standard-based curriculum.
Dr. Clement Apaak stated that although the theme for this year focuses on how teachers could help in helping students to recover from the Covid-19 outbreak that is not the case in Ghana because textbooks are not available.
“How are our basic schools Teachers going to help with educational recovery without textbooks based on a basic curriculum available,” the statement questioned the government.
Meanwhile, the theme for today’s global celebration of teachers is: “Teachers at the heart of education recovery”.
But before Parliament went into recess, the legislator raised questions over the matter demanding that textbooks be distributed to the teachers to enhance teaching and learning.
