Ghana to export 300 teachers to the Bahamas under new agreement
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, announced that the Bahamas will receive 300 Ghanaian teachers this year. This announcement followed bilateral negotiations between Mr. Ablakwa and the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Philip Edward Davis. The deployment of the 300 teachers represents the first phase of a new cooperation in education between the two nations.
Mr. Ablakwa delivered a message of gratitude from President Mahama to the Bahamian Prime Minister for the invitation to engage. Bahamian authorities chose to expand the agreement to teachers due to the performance of Ghanaian nurses currently working in the country. Mr. Ablakwa stated, "It gives us much pride to highlight that Bahamian authorities are deeply impressed with the excellent work ethic of Ghanaian nurses serving under a similar agreement," in a post on Facebook on Saturday, July 11. The initiative is designed to establish a new era of expanded labour mobility between the two nations. Mr. Ablakwa also stated that the Republic of Ghana and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas share an ancestral bond, with a majority of Bahamians tracing their ancestry and heritage back to Ghana. Ghana has congratulated the Bahamas on the agreement and expects to develop further strategic partnerships between the two nations.
