Cries of Ghanaian Professional Graduate Teachers over Upgrading! By Abdul-Latif Ahmed

By AlatiphA - December 26, 2011

I am a teacher in Tamale. I have been appalled and demoralized by the discrimination of professional graduate teachers in this Country. I have worked very hard to get and keep my job, investing thousands of Ghana cedis into my education. After doing cost-benefit analysis, I knew I would never make back, with my teacher's salary even after upgrading, yet I'm been denied upgrading, but I did it anyway because I love teaching and I wanted to be the best teacher I could be. Professional techers are now been demoralised with a policy fuelled and driven by sheer jealousy and envy. How can there be a policy saying, some subjects been taught in our high schools, are not approved for upgrading let alone study leave. I don't want to believe this is a government policy, but silence they say means consent. This is a policy fashioned out by frustrated teachers who have all of a sudden become administrators and want to hold on to their positions but feel that the young professional t...

Even though Jimmy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days, is it? ) and has no money, really these things shouldn...

A guy walks into a club with a puppy. The bartender said, "get out of here with that dog". The guy said, "but this isn't just any dog, this dog can play the PIANO". The bartender replied, "well, if he can play, you both can stay... and have a drink on the house". so the guy sits the dog on the piano stool, and the dog started to play. The bartender and patrons were enjoying the music. Suddenly, a bigger dog ran into the bar and grabbed the puppy by the scruff of the neck, and drugged it out. The bartender baffled, he asked the guy, "what's that all about?" The guy replied, "oh, that was his mother. She wanted him to be a DOCTOR".
