A female Ghanaian teacher who was posted to a community in the Karaga District in the Northern Region shared her first encounter and what prompted her to stay.

According to the young teacher, before she was posted to Dibili in the Karaga District, she was teaching in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.

In a video on X, the young teacher said that she decided to stay in Dibili and teach because when she arrived, there was no other teacher present.

She added that there were also no learning materials, even though the students were available to learn.
