Parents and the communities should all help because they are the first people to know that a teacher is absent apart from the headteacher instead of always complaining.Gov't should come out with clear guidelines how and where to report such teachers. Leaving everything for the inspectors is not enough.

Ghanaians must rise up to oppose the government's waste of our resources just to win election 2016. In this situation in which we find ourselves today, it would even to be unwise for Nana Addo/NPP to talk about free SHS if he is in power today. Two hundred SHS are not the nation's priority even though building 200 SHS is good. How can we look on to see Mahama waste our little resources on 200 SHS while we all know that he cannot effectively complete this project. We have no water , electricity, roads, food, and good healthcare (basic amenities. We have not been able to bring quality to our existing SHS why do we continue building more low quality SHS? Only God knows the type of SHS Mahama is going to put up. I learned in this article that they are waiting for support from the World Bank Which means, the they have not even received a dollar from the World Bank but they are cutting sod just in the name of politics and propaganda. Mahama would not rush to cut sod had it not been pressure Ghanaians have recently put on him asking him to fulfill his numerous promises. He knows the nation cannot afford this project at this time, but for face saving and propaganda, he rushes to cut the sod which he is only good at. My worry is, we should not sit down for him to waste the little resources only to complain tomorrow. If the country has money, he should put in proper use. He should try to improve upon the existing schools, improve upon water supply, electricity, etc. These are all important sectors when improved will also shoot up his credibility. The cabinet should act/perform.

Some Ghanaian teachers have to change their attitude rather than thinking that the teaching field is a stepping stone for then to go into better things in life. Teachers should be punished without any tolerance disdain. They should face prison terms for having sex with under age school girls.
Mr. President give some schools surprise visits to let them know that you are serious. Warn the district heads for lazy work. Teachers pay raise will depend on students evaluation each term. Students will rate teachers on general aspects. This will include punctuality, sex with school girls and work habits.

A teacher was wrapping up class, and started talking about tomorrow's final exam. He said there would be no excuses for not showing up tomorrow, barring a dire medical condition or an immediate family member's death. One smart ass, male student said, "What about extreme sexual exhaustion?", and the whole classroom burst into laughter.

After the laughter had subsided, the teacher glared at the student, and said, "Not an excuse, you can use your other hand to write."

How do you expect or be expected to go to work if you don't get paid for one year? Do you expect the teachers to live on air alone and be present everyday at work?
Sometimes I wondered what goes through the thick heads of the people running the affairs of the country? Are they stupid or what?

For the mean time they don't hesitate to pay themselves their per diems and fat cat $10000 per month.

A strong and right educational system is needed for a strong economy and a strong economy is needed for an excellent educational system free of teacher absenteeism. How do graduates from our universities compare?

The premier university of Ghana - The University of Ghana Legon sadly does not appear in the top 500 universities on earth. This must be corrected immediately. The university in order to achieve this must improve:
1) Faculty student ratio
2) The number of research projects it carries out
3) The test scores of its entry class (internationally normalised)
4) Employers' review of performance of its graduates (local and abroad)
5) Peer review by other universities
