GES director raises alarm over 300 teacher deficit in the Asutifi North District
Naomi Asantewaa, Ghana Education Service (GES) Director for Asutifi North District, sounded the alarm over a severe teacher shortage in the district. She put "the deficit at approximately 300 teachers." She says this gap "is significantly hampering the quality of teaching and learning across schools in the area."
Asantewaa raised the concern at Kenyasi during a donation ceremony. At the ceremony, Ebenezer Kwaku Addo, Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, presented 50 computers to 10 basic schools. The focus was on schools in rural communities that have historically lacked access to digital learning tools. Asantewaa explained that the MP's computer donation is a commendable step towards deepening ICT education in the district, but also underscores the pressing need for human resources. She argued that without adequate teachers, the infrastructure investments risk falling short of their intended impact. Asantewaa also called on corporate organisations and philanthropic individuals to contribute computers to schools in the district.
Ebenezer Kwaku Addo, joined by the Presiding Member, Bawa Issaka, pledged that by the end of his tenure, schools across the Asutifi North District will be equipped with the computers needed to strengthen ICT education and prepare students for an increasingly digital future.
