Pay teachers realistic income – Duncan Amoah to gov’t

The Executive Director of the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), Duncan Amoah, has called on the government to pay teachers realistic salaries and provide adequate funding for teaching and learning materials, arguing that investment in education must translate into improved outcomes for students and the wider economy.

He said addressing teachers’ concerns about their conditions of service requires sustained dialogue between the government and teacher unions to prevent recurring industrial action and ensure stability in the education sector.

Speaking on a current affairs programme on Saturday, October 10, Mr Amoah stressed that education spending must be matched by better remuneration for teachers and adequate resources to support effective teaching and learning.
