Class One teacher named Best Teacher at World Teachers’ Day
A class one teacher of Richard Akwei Memorial
School in the Greater Accra Region, Faustina
Thompson, has been adjudged the Overall Best
Teacher at the 2017 International World
Teachers’ Day Celebration held at Koforidua in
the Eastern Region.

Faustina Thompson, who has been in the teaching
profession for over 17 years, was awarded with a
3-Bedroom House which will be constructed at a
place of her choice sponsored by the Ghana
Education Service, and a GHC 50.000 life Insurance
from SIC Life Insurance Company.

The 1st Runner-up, Agnes Nutakor, a teacher at
Kpeve Model School in the Volta Region, was also
awarded with cash price of Ghc 110,000 and a Ghc
30,000.00 Life Insurance Policy also from SIC.

A teacher from Legon Presec in the La Nkwantanan
Municipality also in the Greater Accra Region,
Joseph Abusa, was adjudged the 2nd Runner up. For
his price, he drove home a brand new car and also
received Ghc 20,000.00 Life Insurance Policy from
SIC Life.

In an interview with Citi News after receiving her
award, the best teacher, Faustina Thompson, who
stated that hard work was her hallmark, also
revealed that lack of parents’ involvement in
their children’s education outside school, has
been her major challenge for her work as a
teacher.

She however advised her colleague teachers to put
in extra effort and make the required impact in
the lives of their students.

In Ghana, there’s very little focus on education
at the lowest level, although that is supposed to
be the foundation, which needs more attention and
direction.
