Government Urged To PriorItize Rural Teacher’s Welfare

Joseph Donkor, outgoing District Education Director for Kwahu Afram Plains South in the Eastern Region has called on the government to prioritize the welfare of teachers in rural communities to improve teaching and learning outcomes.

Mr Donkor highlighted that teachers in these areas lack basic amenities and incentives, leading to low morale and high turnover rates.

He emphasized the need for improved welfare packages, including better living conditions and incentives, to encourage teachers to stay longer in rural areas.

He added that ,by investing in teacher welfare, the government can address the challenges faced by rural education and promote more effective teaching and learning.

Donkor’s appeal underscores the importance of supporting teachers in rural communities to ensure quality education.

Mr Donkor’s retirement service was held at Tease, the district capital of Kwahu Afram Plains South.

Williams Frimpong, who is the Eastern Regional Education Directors’ Spokesperson thanked Joseph Donkor for his 34 years of dedicated service in education and encouraged other directors in the Eastern region to work hard to improve the education system.
