New education policy success depends
on teachers' role as good models – Mrs Appiah
Nkawie (Ash), Dec. 29, Ghanadot/GNA – Mrs Diana Appiah,
Atwima-Nwabiagya District Director of Education, has noted
that teachers’ satisfactory performance to achieve targeted
results was crucial for the success of government’s
educational policies and programmes.
She said the success of the new education reform greatly
depended on teachers’ attitude to work and professional
competence and advised them to develop excellent
professional skills, ethics and attitude to improve
education standard in the country.
Mrs Appiah was speaking at the annual Christmas party
organised by the District Education Directorate for officers
and other personnel at Nkawie on Friday.
She noted that job satisfaction could only be realized not
only through increased salaries and other benefits but also
the achievement of set objectives and targets to increase
production.
Mrs Appiah, therefore, advised officers and staff of the
directorate to put in more efforts to effect meaningful
changes to achieve realistic output.
She expressed dissatisfaction with the attitude of some
officers and other personnel to work, adding, “Some of you
come to work very early, leave late but do practically
nothing”.
This, Mrs. Appiah hoped would be reversed to improve upon
the academic achievement of the district in both the Basic
Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the West
African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Mr. Baffour Asare-Bediako, a retired Human Resource
Management and Development Officer at the directorate,
advised them to unite and interact regularly to discuss new
educational policies to promote smooth and successful
implementation.
He expressed his gratitude to teachers in the district for
organizing the party for him and wished them success in
their endeavours.
Mr Richard Owusu-Agyemang, the Public Relations Officer at
the directorate, who has been transferred to the Ashanti
Regional Education Office as Head of the PRO Unit, was
honoured and presented with a parcel.
