• Social media users who watched her video sympathised with her and encouraged her to stay there and help the students

A female Ghanaian teacher posted to an area in the Northern region said she feels lonely when she returns from school.

The lady explained that she was posted to Karaga and the language has become a barrier between her and the people she lives with.

In a video on X, the lady showed her return from school. When she got into the compound, all she did was greet and walk towards her room.

She complained that the room she lives in does not have windows. It just has a door. She described the room as an oven since the place gets very hot.

Unfortunately, the lady cannot use a fan or any other electrical appliance because there is no electricity in the area.

"I feel sad every time I finish school because I don’t have anyone to talk to, as none of my neighbours speak any of the languages I know. My room has no windows, and I don’t use a fan or TV because there is no electricity in the household. The whole room feels like an oven."

“You a teacher, I'm sure there's someone in the town that speaks English, let them teach you their language, don't be lazy or tribalistic.”

“We talk about improving education, but how do we expect teachers to give their best when they’re forced to endure such hardship? If we truly value education, we must prioritize the welfare of those who deliver it. A teacher’s well-being directly impacts the quality of education students receive. This shouldn’t just be another sad story, it should be a wake-up call.”
