The Dean of Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Ashesi University College said trained teachers, who are better-paid than their untrained colleagues, do not prepare their lesson notes and also fail to teach pupils during school hours, thus, destroying the future of the nation. Such behaviour, according to him, is “wicked”. “The teachers in the basic schools, wickedly, and I’m using my words well, have refused to teach”. In Prof Adei’s view, the situation can be salvaged by sacking all trained teachers in public basic schools.
