Mrs Diana Appiah, Atwima-Nwabiagya District Director of Education, has noted that teachers’ satisfactory performance to achieve targeted results was crucial for the success of government’s educational policies and programmes.
She said the success of the new education reform greatly depended on teachers’ attitude to work and professional competence and advised them to develop excellent professional skills, ethics and attitude to improve education standard in the country.
Mrs Appiah was speaking at the annual Christmas party organised by the District Education Directorate for officers and other personnel at Nkawie on Friday.
She noted that job satisfaction could only be realized not only through increased salaries and other benefits but also the achievement of set objectives and targets to increase production.
Mrs Appiah, therefore, advised officers and staff of the directorate to put in more efforts to effect meaningful changes to achieve realistic output.
She expressed dissatisfaction with the attitude of some officers and other personnel to work, adding, “Some of you come to work very early, leave late but do practically nothing”.
This, Mrs. Appiah hoped would be reversed to improve upon the academic achievement of the district in both the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Mr. Baffour Asare-Bediako, a retired Human Resource Management and Development Officer at the directorate, advised them to unite and interact regularly to discuss new educational policies to promote smooth and successful implementation.
He expressed his gratitude to teachers in the district for organizing the party for him and wished them success in their endeavours.
Mr Richard Owusu-Agyemang, the Public Relations Officer at the directorate, who has been transferred to the Ashanti Regional Education Office as Head of the PRO Unit, was honoured and presented with a parcel.
