I don't doubt him for a minute! The Okada business is very lucrative and they won't trade it for anything. I deal with a lot of them so I know exactly what I'm saying.

It's terrible the way we take care of teachers. The highest paid teacher's pay is less than 15% of what's paid to a parliamentarian. That's sad, the resultant effect is thst they don't teach with a heart

The state has failed its citizens , we lack planning for the nation. Why do we train so many doctors teachers, nurses etc and at the end of their courses cannot engage them or even when they're employed the salary is scanty. No successful nation would treat its ppl like that. These problems started when P/NDC increased the number of training colleges nursing schools and medical universities , no plan was put in place in place to absorb them.

That would have been disastrous for some Geographical Regions. How would have Regions like the Volta, the Northern and Upper Regions employ and pay its workers? The Ashanti Region is rich and proposed for a Federal System of Government but Nkrumah and a few others refused. Even in a Federal System of Government, the Greater Accra would have suffered. What does the Greater Accra produce to generate any income? Salt and KOOBI? HAHAHAHA. The Central and Western Regions produce more fishes than the Greater Accra Region. Western Region was going to be very rich because it produces more fuel.The Volta Region would have been more miserable because nothing serious and profitable is produced there. Let us go with what we have now and let our Politicians stop being greedy and thieves engaged in illegal activities like Galamsay. Will there have been that many Parliamentarians who are better at stealing? Do we even need these many of them. Efo Julor John Rawlings ruled for many years without any members of Parliamentarians.

I am a Professional Teacher but we could have helped ourselves to be paid better. Just PRETEND TO PAY THE TEACHERS AS IT IS BEING DONE NOW AND LET THE TEACHERS ALSO PRETEND TO TEACH. We shall finally see who shall suffer. Teachers will then be thought of well and be paid well.
When I taught the GCE O and the A Levels, yes, I organized Private Classes and knew how to teach and prepare those who attended my Private Classes to Pass their Standardized Exams.
Teachers should learn to know and understand that HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES. They should not allow themselves to be taken for granted. If Housemasters and Mistresses are not paid for taking care of the students after school hours, leave the Students alone to go to town freely after school, even at night and we shall see who shall become pregnant, Cigarettes and Weed Smokers, and thieves and Burglars, be arrested and killed. Teachers should just not do everything for free. Work as you are paid.
In Uncle Sam's country, most Teachers do not stop or prevent students from attacking and fighting each other because that is not their work. The Police and Security Officers stationed on the campus does that.

The fact remains clear classroom teachers do not have any better allowances attached to their basic or net salaries. Many teachers work from hand to mouth and as a result of inadequate monthly salaries many of them are unable to save money into their accounts. Yes,they face a lot of challenges as classroom teachers because of the inadequate salaries they receive monthly. This country can pay teachers lucrative salaries but due to corruption governments of yesterday, today and tomorrow finds it difficult to pay them well. In my opinion All Teacher Unions in the country must wake and say enough is enough and move away from the annual 3-10% increment and confront government for better weather monthly salaries for teachers .

Yes teachers are not paid well, so everyone will say because nobody’s salary is enough for them even the president. We are all managing. If you take eg 1000 and can’t manage it, if they pay you 50000 you won’t still be able to manage it. Some teachers have successfully taken care of their children through university with their meager salaries and taken care of themselves with the same meager salaries. Whilst we are advocating for increased salaries, monthly workers should do side business. Some close from work at 3pm. Yes you can not do Okada or bolt but you can buy and sell. Now with delivery guys, you don’t need a physical shop or to sell.
