Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho
AN Assistant Director of Education at the Ho Municipal office of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Mrs Nancy Goh, has advised teachers to see themselves as people anointed to nourish the deprived in society, especially those in the rural areas.
“Go as water to very thirsty land, go and nourish them, be role models, be morally upright and let the children enjoy you,” she said.
Mrs Goh gave the advice at the Ho Municipality last weekend at the closing ceremony of a four-day capacity building for 60 community education teaching assistants under the National Youth Employment Programme.
The teaching assistants were recruited to fill vacancies that existed in many schools in deprived areas of the municipality.
Mrs Goh urged them to work themselves into greatness and work with utmost dedication to justify their selection into the programme in the face of competition from several quarters.
In an address, the Municipal Youth Employment Co-ordinator, Mr Francis Edem Norbedzi, said the youth employment programme had proved its worth, adding that the difference it was making in the field was well noted and appreciated.
He assured the teaching assistants that the government was making all efforts to ensure the payment of their monthly allowances in good time.
A facilitator at the workshop, Mr Peter Adzadey, advised the teaching assistants to see themselves as being integral part of their various schools and avoid feeling inferior to other staff members.
He asked them to apply the knowledge acquired and to prove their status and maturity at the workplace.
