A Ghanaian-trained teacher who was posted to teach in a village school in Hlihadzi in the Afram Plains of the Eastern Region has shared her plights as the only teacher in the school.
Madam Agnes Agyapong Yeboah is the only teacher out of the lot who was posted to the rural area. She said several other teachers assigned to the school declined their postings.
She explained that the rest did not report due to the lack of electricity, access to potable water, and transportation options. She indicated that no car comes to Hlihadzi.

In an interview with WINS TV, Agnes said that because she is the only teacher in the school, she must allocate her time each day to ensure every class is attended.

"I am a trained teacher, and this is my first station. I have been here for three years. There are eight classrooms, and I am the only teacher here. So, I start teaching by 8am, apportioning 30 minutes to each class. There are about 140 pupils."
Agnes added that she struggles to teach all eight classes and also needs a lot of things to make teaching and learning easy. She pleaded with the government and other benevolent people to come to their aid.
"Animals like scorpions and snakes worry us. I am pleading with the government to do something about this situation. The children love coming to school, but they have no amenities. The children need clothes, and we need better classrooms."

God bless you Madam Agnes for this sacrifice. She really needs help. The conditions there are extremely deplorable. She can't continue to do all these works by herself. Basic things need to be fixed for these little kids have the sound mind to learn.
