The Ghana Federation of Labour has condemned the alleged discrimination against a visually impaired teacher posted to teach at he Moree Senior High School in the Central region by the headmaster of the school.

The National Advocacy advisor of the Ghana Federation of Labour, Isaac Tuggun, has described the headmaster’s alleged posture as unfortunate.

Speaking to Joy News Thursday, Mr. Tuggun said a team from the federation will visit the school and meet with the head master, where his attention will be drawn to the disability act that frowns against discrimination.

The National Advocacy advisor further noted that the head master of the school will be made to understand that it is not up to him to decide who teaches in the school.

Alternatively, Mr. Tuggun said the Labour Federation will send a-strong-worded letter to the Director-General of Education and if nothing is done about the situation, it will proceed to court to seek justice for the visually impaired teacher.

John Sebastian Jaani, a visually impaired English language teacher, posted to the Moree Senior High School in Cape Coast says the headmaster is preventing him from doing his job because of his disability.

According to him, he had a humiliating encounter with the headmaster of the school, when he presented himself to him [headmaster] as the newly posted English teacher of the school.

Sabastian Jaani had a shock of his life, when the headmaster resisted any attempt to have him teach in the school because of his disability.

He reported the headmaster, Kubin Yartel as saying he is blind; he cannot see, cannot read or mark. On what basis was he coming to teach his students?

He said even after he produced the letter from the Ghana Education Service (GES) posting him to the school, the headmaster was still adamant, insisting he was not consulted before the posting was made.

The headmaster is reported to have said he would not have a "blind person" teach his children.

Mr. Jaani had told Joy News' Central Region correspondent, Richard Kojo Nyarko, he was completely depressed hearing a headmaster remind him of his disability.

"He took my interest down. Nobody would have to tell me I am blind. I am surprised that you could look at somebody in his face like that and talk about his disability. It is difficult for me to be seated before my headmaster, an educationist for him to open his mouth and tell me, you are blind", Mr. Jaani lamented.

A graduate of the University of Cape Coast with a ten year teaching experience, Mr. Jaani has been shuffling between the Regional Education Directorate and the Moree SHS.

Mr. Jaani is frustrated and wants the GES to take urgent action.

The Headmaster, Kubin Yartel, has since declined comment on the issue, Kojo Nyarko reported.
