The teachers themselves are worried so that is not the issue , the problem is address their problem so that they can go back to classroom and teach.This is what Ghanaians want to hear.

"IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

John, you met the GNAT and the NAGRAT a couple of days ago, and you seperated without any solution, now you are back in square one, is that not waste of time and resources? Now you are telling these patriotic citizens to be mindful of the national purse, if that were to be the case, how much do you take home a month for no work done, are you not a thief and selfish? You, with your stupid advisors in corrupt ministers have succeded in only one thing making Ghana go bankrupt.

By the time the teachers collect their money, two students will turn to armed robbers. the robbers will way lay these same teachers and teach them a lesson in single spine economics by taking away the money.
It is even very sad that teachers hailing from local communities with poor BECE records have refused to help the pupils prepare for their exams.
WAEC is no respecter of strikes so the country should get ready for half baked students who can only aspire to be foot soldiers

My question is, have the Ghanaian teacher changed and now spending time teaching in the classroom? From experience, I remember the teachers’ only showing up in class once a while and spending their time trading to make extra money. Most of our kids cannot read or write, and most are not passing their exams, so why pay them more money? They should be paid based on performance. All the schools that have good passing grades should be paid more and the less productive teachers paid less until they can bring the kids grades up.
