Best performing teachers in the Upper East Region have received awards from the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Speaking at the awards ceremony, the acting Regional Director of GES, Ms Veronica L. Seidu, said teachers are not only agents of change but also the shapers of the conscience of the nation.
She, therefore, called on all sections of the society to cultivate respect for teachers and help them to perform their functions effectively.
Ms Seidu told the award winners that it was their individual contributions and efforts towards the achievement of the educational policy objectives and the Educational Reforms that earned them the awards.
The 50 Award winners were chosen under the categories of general teaching performance, science and mathematics, technical and vocational studies. It covered Primary Schools, Junior and Senior High Schools, Teachers Training Colleges and non teaching staff.
Mr. Samuel N’Laary, Chief Director of the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council, appealed to teachers to continue working hard and render selfless and dedicated services to the country.
He said the awards were to motivate the teachers to give off their best and urged those who did not received prizes not to be discourage.
The first prize winner took home a double door refrigerator, second, a 21-inch television and the third prize, a four burner gas cooker.
