She, however, expressed concern about delays in payment, while adding that at the height of the prevailing pandemic, the profession was affected.

''Before the pandemic, Black teachers took $600. But during the pandemic, the white teachers left. So now I take $1,300. Others also receive $1,200 to $3,000,'' she said.

Ankomah taught at Juaben Senior High while in Ghana and lived a comfortable life, she said.

She further mentioned that she was not living in deprived conditions while in Ghana but a travel agent cajoled her to relocate.
