Teacher Kwadwo, the popular comedy skit content creator has revealed the real reason why the Ghana Education Service (GES) sacked him from the teaching profession. According to him, he was sacked because of a video he recorded about a school in the Akrofuom District. He revealed this on his Facebook page.
“Over the past few months, I have held my tongue over some of the things I witnessed during my time as a teacher in the Akrofuom District.”
“Several of these incidents I have recorded and continue to keep as a video library documenting some of the experiences of primary school education in Ghana.”
“Many of you do not know this, but this particular video was the reason why the District GES came after me. After I recorded this video, the District summoned me in expectation that I will delete the video. When I refused that’s when they came at me with full force.”
He further stated that most teachers are in a similar situation but are unable to voice out their grievances so they keep mute just for the salary, including the headmaster in the video.
“I know that many of you in a similar situation would have kept quiet, received your salary and treated this as an ordinary job. Like the headmaster in this video, you will lack the backbone to demand better for the students under your care. There are infact so many teachers who chose everyday to look the other way, just for the salary.”
He stated further that teaching was not just a job but a calling and a profession he loved and hence he couldn’t in good conscience keep meet about the bad situations in the profession.
“For me, teaching was not just a job. It is a calling; and a profession I loved. I could not in good conscience keep quiet about some of the things I witnessed as a teacher in the Ghana Education service.”
“I was chased out of the GES because I was devoted to the truth.”
“They did everything possible to make me delete this video from my phone but I said no, So their next move was to frame something on me and get me sacked.”
