The Headmistress of Dichemso M/A School, Helena Amponsah, has reported that teachers are going door-to-door in the Dichemso suburb of Kumasi to persuade pupils to attend classes again after a teachers' strike was suspended. Despite teachers reporting for work on the first day of the strike suspension, pupil attendance remained low, with some classrooms only partially occupied.
The headmistress stated that the school has 30 pupils in Form One, but only 16 have returned to school. She hopes the absent students will eventually return. To help pupils catch up on the topics missed during the strike, the school has introduced extra classes and extended teaching hours. Additional lessons will be organized, especially for Form Three students, to ensure they can complete the syllabus before finishing school.
The headmistress also thanked the teachers' union leaders for campaigning for better working conditions for educators.
