On Friday, October 5, 2019, teachers across the country witnessed a milestone celebration of the World Teachers Day (WTD). NTAL said instead of government outsourcing public schools, it should stop the process. Pearson High School Auditorium in Nimba County, had as its theme, “Young Teachers: The Future of the Teaching Profession.”For the NTAL, it called for a halt to the privatization and commercialization of public schools. “Instead of outsourcing our public schools to profit-making providers, let the government widen the tax net, introduce a robust leakage-free tax collection system, judiciously spend public funds and rigidly enforce anti-corruption laws,” the NTAL said in a release. Other exciting moments of the World Teachers’ Day celebration included the recognition and long service awards given to 25 teachers for “meritorious service”; and an emotional address by the representative of some of the young teachers, represented by Mrs. Alfreda G.S.
