The President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana, King Ali Awudu, is worried about how the education sector in Ghana is being used for politics.
In his view, no sector in Ghana is used for politics more than the education sector.
This, he said, must stop.
Speaking in a yet-to-be-aired interview with TV3’s Kemini Amanor, he said “In this country, there is no sector that is used for politics more than the educational sector.”
The full interview airs on Sunday 10PM
He further stated that headmasters are unable to voice out the frustrations they go through in the line of their work for fear of being dismissed.
“No headteacher can come and sit here and make this discussion with you, he will leave here and go and his dismissal letter will be waiting for him,” he said.

Regarding the salaries of teachers, Ali Awudu said when asked whether teachers in Ghana earn up to GHS3000, ” For being in the service for 19 years and with a second degree I earn GHS4066.”
