School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) at Agona Circuit in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem Municipality

Mr. Henry Amartey, the School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) at Agona Circuit in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem Municipality has urged teachers to reposition themselves to harness the benefits of the digital revolution.
He said exploring the digital transformation in education was the way to go since it enhanced teaching and learning in a highly competitive global economy.
“At this time when online education has become the new normal, we are hoping that the government will provide teachers with digital devices to improve the delivery of education in the country.
“Teachers must use the 21st Century methodology to teach,” Mr. Henry Amartey urged.
He said this at this year’s Teachers Day celebration, where ten teachers were awarded for their tremendous contributions to the character formation of children.
It was on the theme: “The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teachers’ shortage.”
He also stressed the need to be innovative, practical, and creative in their teaching as a necessary tool to motivate their students to acquire entrepreneurial skills after graduation.
“Teachers will have to be innovative in the delivery of education to children. We are appealing to the relevant stakeholders, especially the government, to support teachers.
“We need to appreciate teachers for the key role they play in society. Teachers deserve commendation for their undeniable impact on society,” he said.
However, Mr Solomon Ebo Appiah, the Municipal Chief Executive for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem explained to the teachers in the circuit their code of conduct and what the laws say.
He commended all teachers, particularly those working in rural and difficult-to-reach communities in the circuit.
