A newly trained teacher, posted to the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality in the Western Region for her one-year national service, has recounted the daunting experience she faced while traveling to inspect the school where she has been assigned.
The teacher described her journey from a nearby town to the village school as a grueling one-hour ride on a motorbike.
She navigated through a dilapidated road that winds through dense bush, which she said was in such poor condition that it made the trip extremely difficult and uncomfortable.
Upon reaching her destination, she was greeted by the sight of the school — a modest, mud-and-wooden structure located next to a cocoa farm.
The teacher noted that while the school was an important resource for the local community, its physical condition left much to be desired, highlighting the challenges faced by schools in remote areas.
The teacher expressed concerns about the infrastructure and learning conditions at the school, urging authorities to improve access to education and address the challenges faced by teachers in these underserved communities.
Her experience has sparked a wider conversation about the need for better road networks and educational facilities in rural areas, where teachers and students alike face daily hardships just to receive an education.
