  • KWASI IN EUROPE 8 years ago

    There should be a difference between dressing to work and dressing at home. Even at the Teacher Training College student teachers are told to dress properly when going to teach. I only think jeans should have been allowed.

    What is backward about this, we lived in a civilized society. And teachers serve as role models of which they should know how to dress well to work. Maybe, you have not seen the kind of clothes being talked about. And if you ...

    I mean REALLY.someone sits down to write this as Rules for Teachers.Dear Lord have mercy.

  • Odikro Mununkum 8 years ago

    Great, it's not necessary for teachers to wear uniform but they should have a dress code to carry decency and professionalism.

  • Nantwi, BSEd,MSEd(ece),MSEd(sas) 8 years ago

    I am a teacher in New York City and female teachers were Jeans and Pants and Trousers to work.Maybe the GES should provide Uniforms for the female teachers as they provide for the Police and the Army.

  • K K 8 years ago

    Mind you, the weather in new York has something to do with the type of clothes one wears. Besides, how some of the teachers dress to work is very bad.

  • Augu 8 years ago

    And who made the dress code of new York city teachers a global standard for teachers? plse let's not bring such comparison here

  • Kofi Bill Clinton 8 years ago

    Am going back to apply for teachers dressing inspector, each school should have a separate room for inspecting the beautiful ladies. The next available flight out of America.

  • Joey Boy 8 years ago

    So Nantwi thinks that what goes on in New York must be necessarily good for Ghana? And there's someone called Kaikai who doesn't know that the GES top hierarchy consists of both men and women.

  • Odikro Mununkum 8 years ago

    Nantwi, we don't need no New York business over here. Tell me the school (PS, IS or HS) you teach in NYC and I will visit you tomorrow.

  • opoku ntiamoah 8 years ago

    you cannot restrict dress code on teachers without clothing allowance or providing the uniform for the teachers.

    They should give teachers dressing allowance because the chalk is condemning the proper attires we wear to school it is reason why we do wear jeans.

  • Waging 8 years ago

    Jeans are not bad to work. If they shld mention the crazy n too tight jeans shld be banned.

  • kk 8 years ago

    Female teachers are not supposed to do that and that is not a new rule.

  • Abe 8 years ago

    The teachers entice active youths in thinking of sexual desires seeing their teacher in that way. Personally I will say 3/4 length clothings whether shirt or dress with hide the flesh.

    Taliban laws gradually setting in. They will soon tell the teacher when to have sex and the codoms to use. No bungalows and TLMs. No wonder students don't want to be teachers.
