Let's keep our teachers adequately motivated - Asantehene
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has said it
is important to adequately motivate teachers to
perform their duties well.

He said it would be difficult to achieve quality
education, if the teacher was neglected and thus
it is necessary that everything should be done to
ensure that they were put at the centre of the
nation's education policy.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu said the “teacher needs to be
recognized, supported and encouraged.”

He said this when receiving a delegation from the
Ghana Education Service (GES), led by the Ashanti
Regional Director, Mr Joseph Kwabena Onyinah, to
his Manhyia Palace.

The delegation had called to formally invite the
Asantehene to this year's National Best
Teacher/Worker Awards Day fixed for Friday,
October 5, in Kumasi.

Mr Onyinah praised the Asantehene for his
extraordinary commitment, interest and
contribution to the development of education.

He said they were grateful to him for rewarding
more 500 teachers selected from deprived basic
schools across the country with prizes through the
Otumfuo Charity Foundation.
