"So I encouraged teachers to give out their best even though they may complain their salaries are not good they don't have allowances they should keep doing their best, their reward will never be in heaven it will be on earth" he urged teachers.

Amegadzie further called on government to look up to teachers and should at least give some allowances to teachers because there are risks in the work. He sbelieves if teachers feel comfortable they will also work hard to the satisfaction of everyone.

He also urged parents to come on board by providing learning materials to their wards and also make sure that they prioritise feeding of their children.
