Female students are not part of your welfare package – NAGRAT tells members

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called  for a new social contract that prioritizes the well-being of teachers.

The Eastern Regional Chairman of the Association, Godwin Awoonor-Yevu
emphasized the need for a participatory policy-making process and constructive dialogue in addressing teachers’ concerns at the Celebration of Teachers day at Kwahu Mpreaso in the Eastern region.

” We envisage a new social contract prioritising teachers wellbeing, empowering expertise through government support. Safe supportive and inclusive environment, regular professional growth, fair compensation, job security and involving teachers in decision making policy”

In a statement, he warned instructors that sexual abuse against students should never be considered a part of their welfare packages.

” Four teachers of a particular school have had separate sexual engagement with thier
own students, they appeared before the disciplinary committee and they wept bitterly . Who caused it ? “He questioned

” Whenever a teacher is involved in immoral activity no union would come to your aid , it doesn’t fall under welfare package. It becomes a disciplinary issue ” he sternly warned.
