The Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, is calling on the state to pay teachers a well deserving remuneration for their worker.
He says the role of the teacher in a comprehensive quality education cannot be over emphasized, adding that teachers need to be motivated well to give up their very best even though they’re doing well under the circumstances.
Addressing a durbar of the Chiefs and people of the Benkum division of Akyem Abuakwa State at Begoro, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin called on the government to act fast on teacher remuneration.
He acknowledged that the free Senior High School Education introduced by the Akufo-Addo government is one of the biggest investments which affords every Ghanaian child a free education to the secondary school level.
However, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori underscores the importance of addressing some challenges hindering the success of the program.
Okyenhene says teacher motivation and good remuneration for teachers are inextricably linked with quality education.
Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin also called on leaders to serve in humility and respect.
According to Okyenhene, throughout history, there is no single rich or great leader who died and was buried with his riches but the lives that they impact leaves on till eternity.

largest division within the Akyem Abuakwa State structure with over 300 towns and villages.
