We will produce students who are walking dead bodies if government fails to motivate teachers – Lecturer

Samuel Ziggah, a lecturer and psychologist, has urged the government to motivate teachers so they will help develop and transform our students at all levels.

However, if the teachers who teach the students do not have laptops or tablets to enhance teaching and learning, why hand them over to students?

"There was a need to build the capacity of the teachers so they would have the skills needed to teach the students.

If you don't build the capacity of the teachers so they will later help the students, the policy will be a waste; the tablets will be destroyed, and we will have to pump in more money to buy new ones.

I want to state on record that if the teachers are not motivated and given the needed support and resources to work with, we will be producing students who are walking dead bodies.

The students will go through the system and end up with no skills or knowledge.

The walking dead bodies mean that the students are ignorant and yet expect to be all-knowing, and so they will graduate as empty students despite the number of years they spent in our schools," he said.
