President John Mahama has announced a new initiative to support teachers working in rural areas by implementing a 20% allowance for them. He made this promise during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) yesterday, highlighting the government’s commitment to improving education in underserved communities.
According to President Mahama, teachers in rural areas face unique challenges, including limited access to resources, inadequate infrastructure, and difficult living conditions. To address these issues and encourage more teachers to accept postings in remote locations, the government will introduce this allowance as part of a broader strategy to enhance education quality across the country.https://chat.whatsapp.com/HPfqFbuSt7fA2MVV742k2V
He further stated that investing in teachers is essential for national development, as they play a crucial role in shaping the future of the nation. By offering financial incentives, the government aims to motivate and retain skilled educators, ensuring that children in rural areas receive the same quality education as those in urban centers.
This policy is expected to take effect soon, with details on its implementation to be outlined in the coming months. Many education stakeholders have welcomed the announcement, expressing hope that it will bring positive change to rural education in Ghana. Please share after reading and comment as well thank you.
