Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged an attractive incentive for teachers willing to work in rural schools.
In a recent Facebook post, Mahama stated that if elected President, teachers who accept postings to rural areas will receive an additional 20% of their salary as a bonus. This initiative aims to encourage more educators to work in underserved regions, addressing the educational disparities between urban and rural communities.
According to Mahama, the incentive is designed to motivate teachers to accept postings in rural areas, helping to improve education standards and accessibility in these regions.
By offering a financial boost, he believes more teachers will be willing to work in areas that often struggle to attract and retain qualified educators. This, in turn, will enhance the quality of education for students in rural communities, providing them with better opportunities for academic success.
According to him, this initiative is part of his broader strategy to enhance the welfare of teachers and address systemic challenges in the education sector.
