The Birim North Association of Chiefs headed by Obrempong Kwesi Amoh Kyeretwie I, the Chief of Abirem has called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to post more teachers to public schools in the District to enhance effective teaching and learning.
The appeal was made when the chief, who is also the acting Kotoku Gyaasehene, and his sub-chiefs visited schools in the district to inspect ongoing activities.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at New Abirem, he said over 10 schools suffered staff attrition which was hindering education in the area.
He said the association had sent letters to the GES for additional teachers and urged them to speed up the process to help address the acute shortage of teachers in the schools.
He added that the association aimed to promote effective teaching and learning in the area by rewarding hardworking and dedicated teachers.
He also complained about inadequate furniture in the schools that had prevented the schools from observing social distancing and other protocols of COVID-19.
Obrempong Kyeretwie I entreated parents to guide their children against social deviance.
