The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has promised to provide accommodation for pre-tertiary teachers to improve the state of Senior High Schools in Ghana.<\/p>\n
According to him, unlike the current government, he does not make promises he cannot keep.<\/p>\n
His remark follows nationwide concerns among pre-tertiary teachers about how teaching and learning are being impacted due to the lack of essential amenities.<\/p>\n
While addressing pre-tertiary teachers in a Town Hall meeting in Tamale as part of his \u2018Building the Ghana We Want Together Tour\u2019, Mr. Mahama explained that the economy is currently in a big mess; hence, he would not make promises he cannot fulfil.<\/p>\n
He emphasized several promises made by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led administration, including constructing factories and dams in every district but failing to fulfil them.<\/p>\n
He indicated that as a result of the current state, his administration is going to provide accommodation support to pre-tertiary teachers as motivation for them to stay on campus if elected.<\/p>\n
This, he believes, will help cut unnecessary expenses for these teachers and also inspire them to do their best in the field.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI\u2019ve said that the economy is in a big mess, so I cannot promise everybody I\u2019m going to increase salary and all that. I won\u2019t be like those dishonest people who came to promise heaven that they will build factories in every district, they\u2019ll build a dam in every village, I\u2019m not that kind of person. So I cannot promise you that I\u2019m going to increase your salary.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so we have taken note of the difficulties pre-tertiary teachers are going through, and I\u2019ve suggested some of the solutions, and one is that we\u2019ll help with accommodation in schools so that more teachers can stay in school.\u201d<\/p>\n
