In an exclusive interview with Nana Akua Sikapa of Fish 88.5 FM, Honorable Emmanuel Agumah, the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for the Afigya Kwabre North Constituency in the Ashanti Region, expressed deep concern over the inadequate compensation of private school teachers.
Hon. Agumah disclosed that many private school teachers endure monthly salaries as low as Ghc 200, while the school owners disproportionately enjoy the majority of the profits. He stressed the urgent need for stringent regulations to ensure that employers comply with government-mandated minimum wage standards.
Furthermore, the Parliamentary Candidate unveiled his vision, dating back to 2020, to construct state-of-the-art ICT laboratories for Afigya Kwabre North, aimed at enhancing learning outcomes. He also pledged to establish talent development centers to nurture various God-given talents, such as footballers, poets, dancers, and more, recognizing the potential for individuals to earn a livelihood through their skills.
In a bold declaration, Hon. Emmanuel Agumah expressed confidence in his ability to unseat his opponent, the incumbent MP, Hon. Collins Adomako Mensah, in the upcoming elections.
This revelation by Hon. Agumah sheds light on the challenges faced by private school teachers and underscores the need for decisive action to address their plight.
