Speaking in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s ”Kokrokoo”, Hon. Opoku Prempeh, also called Napo revealed there was a survey conducted worldwide dubbed ”Global Teacher Status” among 35 countries and Ghana ranked higher.
This achievement, he said, is due to the great initiatives by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his government for teachers.
He said President Akufo-Addo, with a good heart for teachers, introduced a program called ”Untrained Teachers For Diploma in Basic Education” (UTDBE) to retrain pupil and untrained teachers, raised the status of teachers holding Certificate A, paid teacher-trainee allowances and also transformed training college into a college of education among other good works aimed at improving the lives of teachers.
Napo noted that the second-ranking of Ghana on the world map is due to these initiatives and many more that the Akufo-Addo administration has established.
”Ghana is second after China worldwide on the Global Teacher Status”, he said.
