In other news… Ghanaians are reacting on social media after a video of a male teacher making a controversial demand surfaced online.
In the viral video, the teacher called on the government to provide special allowances for male teachers, claiming they should be paid for maintaining self-control in front of female students.
According to him, high school girls are becoming “increasingly attractive” and male teachers need strict discipline to remain professional.
in his words
“Minister of Education, on behalf of my colleagues, in fact we should get self-control allowance. Teachers, we should get self-control allowance because look at these young girls now, teachers are suffering. Ghanaian teachers, we are suffering, we should get self-control allowance because it is not easy.
It is not easy for teachers to control themselves during the three years of teaching these children, because now the food they eat and the bodies they hug make them look attractive, but they are still young and it is not easy for us to control ourselves. “he said
His comments sparked reactions from many Ghanaians. While some saw nothing wrong with his comments, others called for his arrest and prosecution.
