“President Akuffo Addo has released 25 million Cedis to be used to build a CATHEDRAL that he “personally” promised his God.
It’s almost 4 YEARS since the current CURRICULUM was introduced and not a single TEXT BOOK,COMPUTER or other TLRs have been given to any school to implement it.
As a Ghanaian TEACHER, mewerɛ aho!”
