‘Transfer teachers who have stayed long in schools’
The Chief of Gomoa Manso, Nana Okyeadze Dontoh, has appealed to the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service to transfer all teachers who have stayed in particular basic schools for more than 10 years to other areas to enhance teaching and learning.

He said that would help introduce new teaching skills by teachers who would take over from those transferred to help improve the performance of the pupils.
According to him, the situation where teachers stayed in schools for 10 years and more accounted for the low performance of pupils and students, particularly at the basic level, since those teachers had become so familiar with the environment and might, therefore, not put in their best.
Nana Dontoh made the appeal while addressing a durbar to climax the annual Akwambo Festival of the chiefs and people of Gomoa Manso.
He said due to their long stay in schools, some teachers were so close to their pupils and students who saw the teachers as their equals.
The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Mrs Rachel Florence Appoh Opoku, implored the youth to eschew any behaviour that could thwart their progress in future.
She stated that with discipline and good attitude, they could be successful in all their endeavours.
Mrs Appoh Opoku, who is also a Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, called for unity among the chiefs in the area to ensure that the area developed.
The Gomoa East District Chief Executive, Mr Isaac Kingsley Ahunu-Armah, urged the chiefs not to restrict the celebration of the festival to funfair but use the occasion to initiate and execute projects to augment the efforts of the assembly and the government.
