Madina MP Invests Over 170,000 Cedis to Honor Educators

The event, organized by the office of the MP for Madina, Lawyer Francis Xavier-Sosu, invested over 170,000 cedis to honor teachers who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and innovation in their work.

During the awards ceremony, MP Francis Xavier-Sosu emphasized the importance of acknowledging the hard work of teachers, stating, teachers deserve this kind of special treatment. Their role in shaping the future of our children is invaluable, and it is only fitting that we recognize and reward their efforts.

Best Teacher of the Year, 2023 received a brand new car as the ultimate prize. The 1st runner-up also received a brand new motorcycle and 2nd runner up received a brand new fridge for third place.
Non-teaching staff were also honored for their contributions, receiving prizes that included fridges and other household items, highlighting the broad scope of recognition within the educational community.

In his speech, MP Xavier-Sosu also addressed broader educational policies, calling on the government to do more to motivate teachers. He criticized the current requirement for teachers to pass a licensing exam, arguing that it discourages rather than encourages educators. If this government does not remove it, the next NDC government will.

The MP further announced plans to enhance the Sosu Teacher’s Award in future editions, including an international exchange program for winners to gain exposure to educational practices in countries like France and Switzerland.
