One of the country’s finest educationists and statesmen Mr. Robert Ajene has said, he has no regret being a teacher for 36 years. Apexnewsgh.com report Speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, Mr. Ajene said, during his time as a teacher he was very concerned about his teaching and that keeps him focused on producing countless nationalists across the country which till date he is so proud of. Asking whether he regrets being a teacher? Mr. Ajene said: “I was concerned about my teaching and I produced so many nationalists. Late Aliu Mahama was my student, Edward Mahama and even the former President of the National House of Chief was my student. I produced so many Medical Doctors, if went to medical school, i should have been the only doctor. But I produced so many doctors, I produced so many statesmen, and I have touched the human resource elements of most Ghanaians anywhere in the country. So, why should I regret as a teacher”. Mr. Ajene asked “Today, when they enter into teaching, is just like going to a farm and say, if you have planted ten acres of maize, one acre will get you ten bags and you buy hundred empty bags waiting. That is not the type of teaching we want. They have just started and they haven’t seen anything, they should be patient enough. A teacher today wants a car and they compare themselves to others, don’t compare because someone’s problem would have liked to be a teacher. I have never and will never regret being a teacher”. He stressed “I am not a politician but I have touched the human development of this country more than most politicians, so what is my regret?. These politicians respect me. If I entered Ghanaian Parliament 20, 30 percent or maybe more than that will rise and say this is our teacher and I have been very significantly proud that am a teacher”. However, in 2021, the Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament Education Select Committee, Clement Apaak in a separate release said 44,000 teachers out of the 284,000 public basic school teachers left teaching profession in 2021.

Just In: Colleges of Education Non-Teaching Staff Association of Ghana to Start Strike on Monday
The Colleges of Education NON-TEACHING STAFF ASSOCIATION OF GHANA are set to embark on an indefinite strike starting from Monday, April 11, 2022, across all the forty-six(46) public colleges of Education in Ghana. Apexnewsgh.com report The President of the association at St. John Bosco’s College of Education Mr. Richard Ane announced the strike action to members of the Association on Friday, April 8, 2022. He said the Association has concluded to lay down its tools and not to report to work until further notice with the assurance that, members are protected since the strike is legal. According to Mr. Ane, the decision to embark on the strike came as a result of government’s continuous disregard for the following: -Wrong placement of first degree holders, non-payment of migration arrears, exclusion of generic allowances, partial payment of office holding allowances and non-payment of interim market premium arrears. Meanwhile, ApexNewsGh has learned that the decision to embark on this strike was served in January 2022, but could not be carried through due to the intervention of the national labor commission ((NLC). Unfortunately, for some time now, no commitment has been shown by the government as a solution to the concern raised. However, the National President of CENTSAG Frederick Forkuo Yaboah has said, with the exception of the school security, all Members of CENTSAG will from Monday, the 11th of April, 2022 stay away from duty until further notice.
