Invariably, teachers in Ghana have always been at the receiving end of public opprobrium and insults for the unrelenting abysmal performance of pupils. There is a wildly held belief,though,erroneous that teachers are connoisseurs of knowledge and shrewd wisdom,hence, academic success of a pupil SOLELY depends on the teacher.
To some extent, teachers are to be blamed as many of them have continually exhibited lackadaisical attitude in the discharge of their occupational duties, which may be attributed to the fact that the profession is not their CALLING. On several occasions, some teachers have brought the noble profession into disrepute.Nevertheless, since one monkey cannot spoil all monkeys, a precious few of Ghanaian teachers have by their conduct, actions and inactions demonstrated that they were born to impart knowledge in the classroom. No wonder, since the institution of the annual teachers award scheme,some, if not, all of them have been deservedly rewarded.
One particular teacher whose industriousness, dedication and commitment to the field has inspired me to scribe this article is Mr. Ahiafor Solomon He prefers to be address with the intimidating sobriquet of “no-nonsense teacher”. He’s a selfless, gifted teacher.
