The Ghana Education Service (GES) has challenged teachers in the country to continue using the chart as a means of writing exam questions for students as it is part of the teaching materials and materials. 39, learning made available to them and is here for good.

"In fact, in schools, we know that teachers do their test in clbad and the various questionnaires, among other things, always using the blackboard. Well, we can not do anything about it, the painting is one of the resources a teacher needs to teach and learn. " Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwah, Executive Director of the Ghana Education Service, said in an interview with GBC Radio and monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

According to the GES, the basic principle of Blackboard is: "When teachers ask you to do something, they can easily ask you to show it standing in front of you. You can easily see this one and the teacher can come to you. So, if you want to do a key job and an interactive job, he can easily see it than using a smaller paper. "

Professor Opoku-Amankwah explained that elsewhere, up to three primary school students approximately do not even write on paper. They write on smaller tables and Ghanaian teachers need to take this into account.

GES recently banned teachers from taking money from parents to print exam questions towards the end of the semester.

This service command has sparked much debate among the citizens and most educators in the country.

However, some teachers quickly seized the opportunity to highlight the stress they were experiencing writing on the blackboard in clbad, especially during the exam.

On various social media platforms, teachers posted images of their frustrations as a result of the new directive, but the GES does not seem to have a problem with its decision as its general manager said the service was not facing any challenge.

"The only challenge we had was over-dramatization, that is, when did a teacher have to climb the ladder before writing on the board?

It's unthinkable and they just want to show that we do not allow them to take the children, that's why they do it and we thought it was very unfortunate. " Professor Opoku Amankwah said.

"The painting will continue to be part of the clbad and teachers will continue to use it," he insisted.
