Richard Appiah Akoto is a Ghanian teacher who faces a pretty discouraging dilemma.
His students need to pass a national exam that includes questions on information and communication technology (ICT) but the school hasn't had a computer since 2011. So, Akoto had an ingeniously simple idea: he drew computer features and software on his blackboard, using multi-coloured chalk.
''I wanted them to know or see how the window will appear if they were to be behind a computer,"Akoto told CNN. "Always wanted them to have interest in the subject so I always do my possible best for them."
Images of Akoto- who on social media uses the nickname "Owura Kwandwo Hottish"- drawing a diagram of Microsoft Word for his pupils at Betenase M/A Junior High School in the town of Sekyedomase went viral after he posted them on Facebook.
This, for me, shows the dedication that most teachers have in these dark days. I hope this will persuade the government to actually do something about the lack of resources and to support the work that they go through every day.

THIS GHANIAN TEACHER IS A HARD WORKER MAY HE CONTINUE WITH THE HARD WORK AND GOOD BLESS HIM
ReplyDeleteThis teacher is so passionate with his job and this clearly shows that, unlike the others, he chose the qualifications not due to money.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you noticed that Mr Simanye, clearly he adores his work some other teachers would just complain and not do anything about it but he took it upon himself to make the change.
