Disgruntled teachers of Mampong Abebrese's basic school near Debrah Camp in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti region may not return to the school when school reopens according to a report by rawgist.com
The teachers complain that Queen mother of the area; Nanahemaa Grace Dankwah is making life unbearable for them.
Headmaster of the school; Mr. Ernest Agyekum who spoke about the situation to Awuku Addo of Henex Radio in Bibiani recounted how the Queen mother opposes every project the school initiates and frustrates them.
According to him, the Queen mother has deliberately smeared faeces on their only source of Taro Leaves (kontomire). He headmaster said she collected faecal matter from her neighbours and added hers and then proceeded to the cocoa farm where the teachers plucked kontimere for food and smeared the kontomire with the faeces.
“She told some residents of the town about what she intended to do but never bothered to warn us. She doesn’t like our being here so we will leave”, the teachers said.
Some of the teachers who have served the community for over eight years say they cannot continue to undergo such maltreatment at the hands of the Queen mother.
School went on vacation last Thursday 25/07/19. The teachers say they are done with the village and the school and have no intention of returning.
