Former Member of Parliament for the Kumbungu Constituency, Ras Mubarak has postulated that Ghanaian teachers should earn more than the President.
To the best knowledge of Ras Mubarak, no other sacrifices by other occupations can be compared to that of teachers.
He noted that as a result of the meagre income of teachers, they are forced to engage in other activities for money
On his part, because of the inadequate incentive for teachers, these professionals refuse to move into the rural areas when posted there.
“Teachers should be paid higher than anybody in this country. I would reiterate that teachers and doctors as far as I am concerned, should receive higher pay than the President and MPs, considering the sacrifices they (Teachers) make.
Go to the communities and you will realize that the teachers abandon teaching to trade on the side. That is how seriously our society is decaying”, he told Raymond Nyamador on the Happy Morning show.
