THE Minister of Education, Mr Alex Tettey-Enyo, has called on teachers to adopt teaching methods that will ensure that time spent in the classroom is not wasted.
He said teachers should be imaginative, productive and resourceful in order to ensure efficient and effective education delivery.
Mr Tettey-Enyo made the call when the Ministry of Education took delivery of various items donated by eight companies towards this year’s National Best Teachers’ Awards Day slated for Ho on Monday, October 5, 2009.
The companies are Parry & Co. Limited, which donated some of its products, worth GH¢ 5,000; EPP Books Limited, valued at GH¢ 10,000 and GH¢ 5,000 cash and Omega Comput Systems, a set of desktop computer and accessories worth GH¢ 1,500.
The others are Prudential Bank, GH¢ 3,000; Agriculture Development Bank (ADB) GH¢2,500 and the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Ghana Limited, GH¢ 2,600; Indomie and Voltic donated some of their products towards the event.
Mr Tettey-Enyo said the government recognised the contributions of teachers, and “this is the reason why the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government instituted the best teacher awards in 1995 to motivate teachers to give their best”.
The government, he said, would continue to introduce motivational packages for teachers, and urged corporate organisations to support such initiatives.
“Education is the key to development. It ensures the development of the individual, the community and the country at large,” he said.
A representative of Parry & Co., Mr Roger Aikins, pledged the company’s continued support towards the programme, especially having been part of the programme for the past two years.
Mr Jibrin Adam, representative of EPP Books Limited, said the company started supporting the awards day since it was instituted in 1995 and would continue its sponsorship support.
The representative of Omega Comput System, Mr John Walker, said the company was happy to be part of the organisations supporting the awards.
