I am a teacher in the Western Region
one of those who firmly believed in the agenda of a Better Ghana
propagated by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama.
I was deeply
impressed by all the promises made to teachers during the era of
Honorable Lee Ocran as Minister of Education. One of those promise was
that every teacher would be given a laptop computer and assisted to
improve his or her computer skills.
The rational was sport on. If
laptops were being supplied to students, then the teachers who teach
them need to have computer skills as well. Besides laptops have become
so expensive that many teachers cannot afford them from their monthly
pay packet.
I was particularly thrilled when His Excellency John Mahama repeated the promised on his campaign trail.
I refused to listen to the cacophony of NPP propaganda and keenly supported President Mahama to win the 2012 elections.
Unlike
other teachers, I am not as yet disappointed in the President. I
believe that three months is perhaps too soon to give up on a President
of a country in the midst of crisis.
However, many teachers want
to know what happened to the promises to provide 50,000 laptops to us. I
have checked with many of my colleagues in the region and none of them
has been supplied with a laptop.
My questions are what happened
to the promises? Who will give us the answers we need? Will Honourable
Lee Ocran speak to the issue?
It is my hope that The Insight
which is fast becoming the voice of the voiceless will publish this
letter for a broader discussion of the issue. |
