I wish to commend all teachers across the country for their hard work and commitment. Your role is not only to impart knowledge but also to nurture responsible citizens who will drive Ghana’s growth and development.
Teaching is more than a job, it is a calling that deserves the highest recognition and support. Let us continue to uplift and honour our teachers, for the strength of our education system and the progress of our nation rest on their shoulders, ” Dr Apaak wrote.
The theme for this year’s Ghana Teacher Prize was: “Elevating the Status of Teachers for Quality Education.” The annual ceremony is an occasion for awarding teachers who have distinguished themselves.
