Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang at Teacher Awards in Volta region today has strongly condemned acts of abuse and sexual harassment in educational institutions, calling them a stain on the noble teaching profession.

She emphasized that teachers are entrusted with the sacred duty of nurturing the nation’s future leaders, and any form of misconduct undermines the trust society places in them.
