Point six of the letter from the Teacher Unions said;
“6. National Teaching Council CPD POINTS
It s Sad to note that today, on daily basis, teachers and for that matter the teaching progression is confronted with all kinds of Continuous Professional Development at exorbitant fees with the tacit support of some GES Staff who compel teachers under duress or threats to attend. This is therefore a call to action, to sanitize the Continuous Protessional Development environment to curb the consistent exploitation, intimidation and undue pressure from some GES Staff.”
The Union have therefore called on the Ghana Education Service to address the pit in place measures to prevent GES staff from compelling teachers to attend Continuous Professional Development.
