“What it technically means is that the best people to write our textbooks are our teachers, but the question is what opportunities have we created for our young teachers who have the interest?”
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Dr Tannor, who is also a research consultant, said: “We need a comprehensive rural education policy that can drive our interventions when it comes rural education. We need to come out with standardised definition of a rural area to ascertain how many teachers are in those areas.”
Rev Professor Emmanuel Adow Obeng, the Reviewer, in his remarks, said the book, through its documented projects, would impact positively on professionalism.
Rev Isaac Owusu, National President, GNAT, said the documented projects and initiatives would guide the future leadership of the Association.
