  "summary": "The Greater Kumasi chapter of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has urged the government to consider posting trained teachers to private schools in order to reduce teacher unemployment in the country. According to Argin Frimpong, the Secretary of the Greater Kumasi chapter, thousands of teachers graduate every year but remain unemployed due to the lack of government postings. Frimpong suggested that posting some of these trained teachers to private schools would provide them with employment opportunities and allow them to utilize their knowledge and skills. He also proposed that the government could collaborate with private schools and support them with part of the salaries of the teachers posted. Additionally, the Director of Moldgold School, Abigail Yayarah Karikari, has called on the government to support private schools with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) equipment to promote skills-based education, as the world is becoming increasingly technology- and skills-driven.",
