Government to improve living
conditions of teachers
Jema (B/A), Nov 13, GNA - The government has designed a
programme that will help enhance the living conditions of
teachers, Mr. Kwame Ampofo-Twumasi, Deputy Minister of
Education, Science and Sports, said at the weekend.
He commended the Christian Council, religious bodies,
traditional authorities and all who helped in diverse ways
to get the NAGRAT members to rescind their industrial
action.
Mr Ampofo-Twumasi was speaking at a fund raising rally
towards the construction of a 500 million-cedi male hostel
for Jema Secondary School at Jema in Kintampo South
District.
He said the development of the country was a collective
responsibility and there was the need for each and every one
to contribute, "whilst the national cake is shared
equitably".
The Deputy Minister said the government appreciated the
important role of teachers in building the human resource
base for accelerated national development.
Mr. Ampofo-Twumasi, who is MP for Nkoranza South, appealed
to NAGRAT to redouble their efforts and help particularly
final year students to cover the syllabus.
