Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin has urged the government to improve the conditions of service for teachers, particularly those in rural areas, to achieve equitable quality education in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). Apexnewsgh reports
This call comes amid recent industrial actions by pre-tertiary teacher unions over unpaid allowances and poor working conditions.
The Okyenhene emphasized that providing infrastructure and laptops to schools is ineffective without quality teachers to utilize these resources. He advocates for special incentives for teachers posted to rural areas, improved accommodations, and better conditions of service to reduce the high attrition rate in the teaching profession.
He praised the Free SHS program and encouraged parents to take advantage of it to provide secondary education for their children. Okyenhene also cautioned against teenage pregnancy, irresponsible parenting, and land and chieftaincy disputes, which hinder development.
The Benkum Divisional durbar was held in honor of Okyenhene’s 25th-anniversary celebration on the accession to the Ofori Panin stool, with the theme “25 Years of Sustainable Leadership and Service to Humanity.”
