A statement issued by Rebecca Akosua Bawa, Leader and Emelia Antwiwaa Agyekum Secretary of the group said, “it is with great frustration that we are putting out this release to express our disappointment and dissatisfaction with the minister of education Hon. Yaw Adutwum and the entire Ministry of Education (MoE)for failing to post the backlog of newly trained teachers from 2017-2019 before posting the 2020 batch”
“We have all completed our three -year program at our various colleges, passed the licensure examination and completed our mandatory one year national service which are the necessary requirements for posting yet we are still home unposted!”
