Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has reiterated his promise to cancel the teachers’ licensure exams and integrate the licensing process into their final year examination when elected on December 7.
Also, the former President has said he will institute the “Teacher Dabr3” Project to provide accommodation facilities for teachers within their schools.
Speaking at the NDC manifesto launch in Winneba on Saturday, Mr Mahama explained that the initiative will ensure that all new school projects will have accommodation attached.
Again, Mr Mahama promised to implement a 20 percent basic salary which is a special allowance for teachers & health workers who accept postings to rural and underserved communities.
He said the next NDC government will “expand infrastructure to ensure prompt employment of nurses, health workers and teachers.
“Assist teachers to own vehicles of their choice by offering flexible duty payment arrangements and employer guarantees in partnership with teacher unions and the banking sector.”
