TEACHERS

THE Deputy Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Ms Benedicta Naana Biney has cautioned school heads against conspiring with their teachers to receive salaries for work they have not done.
She cited the non-working staff as major contributors to indiscipline and unprofessionalism in the educational field.
She, therefore, called on heads of institutions to maintain high standards of professionalism and integrity by attending to their duties promptly.
She said the teaching profession was a noble one and any teacher who did not behave in the proper manner must be made to face the rigors of the law.
“Instead of rewarding such teachers, they must rather face the disciplinary committee for the appropriate sanctions to be meted out to them”, she reiterated.
Ms Biney advised parents to compliment the efforts of teachers by giving incentive packages to their wards to motivate them to study hard.
"As educators, we must understand the children’s needs and create both social and academic opportunities that would motivate them to learn and develop their intelligence quotient".
