Female teachers in basic and second cycle institutions in the country have been banned from wearing skimpy dresses as well as trousers henceforth, a directive from the Ghana Education Service(GES) revealed.
According to a letter signed by the Hohoe Municipal Director of Education Wordui Joseph K, teachers must distinguish themselves from the manner in which they dress at home [casually] and for officials duties warning that those who defy the directive in accordance with GES dress code will face sanctions.
“No lady is allowed to put on a pair of trousers to work except during sporting activities. They can however put on suit. Miniskirts and sleeveless dresses must be avoided. Too much make-ups and multi coloured hairdos must also be avoided. Cosmetic treatment (Pedicure) etc should be minimized”, the directive explained
For their male counterparts the GES directed that they should avoiding putting g on jeans trousers and round-neck T-shirts.
“The acceptable T-shirts is a lacoste with breast pocket. Hanging of earphones on the ear as well as lose dressing (Oto Phister) during contact hours is unacceptable”, it warned.
The GES reiterated its resolve to sanction any teacher or officer who may in one way or the other violate the dress code as prescribed.

The mind is for studying and doing creative things for the students to come to understanding all the subject but some students have reached ages where the dress of teacher can send different ideas to particularly the boys and male so thus this directive comes at an appropriate time in our educational dimensions and we must communicate well not to have unnecessary confrontations.
This is an interesting article but it has kept me wondering if the dressing style of teachers has any bearing on the quality of education. I will accept the directive without a hesitation if there is any relationship between the two. We must begin to think about how to sustain the falling standard of education instead of focusing what teachers wear to work. Again, if teachers outfit to school is problematic in recent times, then the stakeholders should prepare to provide clothing allowance in order to enforce the full rigors of the law. Other than that I see no iota of wisdom in this publication.
What unimportant things? the kind of unprofessional dresses which our teachers put on now a days to manipulate students and other people around. I supported this directives 100 percent, and waiting for the law to take its course against anybody who refused to obey.
Papa jay sh.ut and be a human being !!! Have u seen most these teachers lately?some ladies dress as if they going to the club.i support the directive
WHY are we so interested on unimportant stuff. What has this got to do with teaching?
