The Nkwanta District Chief Executive, Mr Joseph Yaw Denteh, has assured Ghanaians, that government will continue to implement policies that would improve the remuneration of all workers including teachers.
He disclosed that the salary rationalization policy that was intended to bridge the salary disparity gap of public sector workers would be pursued vigorously and implemented with dispatch.
He said the new educational reforms introduced by government could only succeed when teachers re-dedicated themselves and showed more commitment to their chosen profession.
The Volta Regional Director of Education, Reverend Samuel Amankwa, congratulated government for its policies directed at making education central to the socio-economic development of the country.
He urged teachers to eschew negative attitudes like absenteeism, drunkenness and lateness to facilitate the objectives of nation building.
The Nkwanta District Director of Education, Rev Ernest Gaewu, said the district made a gradual improvement in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), obtaining 51.6 percent passes in the 2007 examination, ranking 76th on the National Examination Performance League Table, as against the 50 percent passes it recorded in 2006 and ranked 77th.
He said the district excelled in sports and other co-curricula activities in the region and the national level.
Rev Gaewu identified lack of teacher’s quarters in deprived areas, permanent structures for new kindergartens as some of the problems facing the district.
He said the District Directorate of Education urgently needed a new office in place of the six-room office block, which was about to collapse.
He commended World Vision International (WVI), Federation of African Women Educationists (FAWE), Ghana Education Project (GEP), DANIDA, Women and Development (WADEP), Hunger and Poverty Reduction Fund (HUPREF) and UNICEF for their collective contribution to the educational enterprise in the district.
A total of 31 teachers in the primary, Junior High School and Senior High Schools as well as non-teaching staff were honoured for their sterling contribution to teaching and learning.
They received Television sets, refrigerators, cylinders and burners.
