The teacher, who fell into a dilapidated toilet at Achianakrom Senior High School in the Ejisu Juabeng Municipality of the Ashanti region, has told Kumasi-based Ultimate Radio, he deserves a compensation for what he terms a horrific ordeal. The 45-year-old teacher, whose name has been withheld, fell into a toilet in his school when he visited in the midst of invigilating mock exams. The toilet, which is near collapse, has deep cracks all over and is used by both teachers and students who say it�s a death trap. The Ghana Education Service is however making efforts to pull down the structure and build a new one. The teacher, who has since been quiet about the issue said he deserves to be compensated by his employers. �I went there to free myself and in the process, I slipped. I nearly hit my head against the wall so in desperation to hold something, my hands slipped off from the wall and then my head knocked and I went into the toilet. I was there for almost one hour thirty minutes and God being so good, a student came in to free himself and he saw me and raised an alarm. The pantry, the teachers run in to pick me and saved my life� �My head and my whole shoulder got in and then I couldn�t come out because I wasn�t in the right position to place myself to come out. So I didn�t want to struggle with the little energy I had in me. So I had to be there quietly because if I even shouted no one would have heard me because my head and shoulders were already inside. So it was better I kept quiet and reserve my energy for God�s intervention and that�s what exactly happened,� he narrated. When asked whether he gulped down faeces, he said �well if they are talking about faeces all over my body, then by all means there will be faeces and urine all around and its perfect for them to say so.� He however said he and his colleague teachers could not paint the true picture to the hospital staff at the Ejisu Government Hospital where he was sent after the incident. He says the pantry men and some of his colleague teachers brought in soapy water and gave him a �thorough bath of his life� and offered him new clothes before sending him to the hospital. �When we went there, we just told them that, I just had a small accident. They didn�t even see my bruises. I just told them I fell and we feel like seeking medical attention. They just injected me and gave me some Paracetamol and I went home� he stated. Although the teacher appears physically fit and healthy, since all bruises on him have completely healed, he admits the incident has, had some psychological toll on him as students have begun behaving funny whenever they see him either teaching or passing by, which sometimes gets at him. He said �I am not comfortable especially after the news came out. Now the students, they look at me and when you are teaching, instead of concentrating on what you are saying, they start observing your movements here and there. Besides, even those I don�t teach, whenever I am passing, they can suddenly turn somewhere indicating someone has said something and I know it is all about me� he lamented. He is however not contemplating leaving the school or seeking transfer as by his conviction it was just an accident and one never knows what lay ahead in another school. He said he was strong willed and �unless any authority had any reason best known to them to transfer me, I will still be there and I don�t really mind� he stated. He said his family of four had a hard time accepting the news but admitted apart from his eldest son who is now eighteen years; they had all taken it in good faith. He has a wife and three children with the youngest child a year and half old. The teacher is however disappointed that no one from the Ministry Of Education had extended to him any morsel of concern except for his headmistress, and the Ashanti Regional Education Directorate which has called to enquire of his health after the incident. For the Ministry of Education, maybe it is through this interview that they will hear me� he said in disappointment.
