The Deputy Minister for Works and Housing who doubles as Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West in the centralRegion, Hon. Gizella Tetteh Agbotui, has reiterated her commitment to improving teacher accommodation and motivation across her constituency.

Speaking at a workshop organized in collaboration with the International Community for Learning and Social Spectrum (ICLASS), the MP who also serves as Deputy Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources emphasized the importance of investing in both human capacity and educational infrastructure.

However, she stressed that training alone is not enough.

I urge all teachers to take advantage of these tools to improve their work and impact students positively,” he stated.

Lastly on her part, an Educational Psychologist and Learning Strategist, Miss Marian Benewaa Babah-Alargi entreated teachers to desist from discrimination among students as she says every child has his or her own special abilities.
