The Deputy Regional Minister for Upper East, Dr. Robert Baba Kuganab-Lem, has slammed teachers over their poor attitude towards work in recent times.

According to him, most teachers have no passion for the teaching profession, adding they are only motivated merely by money and calls for a change in that regard.

He says he observes with regret that laziness and other related despicable attitudes being exhibited by teachers lately is the bane of  the falling standards of education in the country.

Dr. Kuganab-Lem who doubles as the ruling National Democratic Congress, NDC parliamentary candidate for the Binduri Constituency, made this known at stakeholders' meeting at the St. John Boscos College of Education in Navrongo of the Upper East Region.

The meeting sought to seek dissenting opinions from illustrious stakeholders on the implementation of the Transforming Education and Learning, T-TEL project of the school.

The project, if fully implemented, would transform the delivery of pre-service teacher education in Ghana by stimulating the quality of teaching and learning in the college.

But Dr. Kugabab asserts the implementation of the project may suffer a setback in its desire to achieve its objectives, if teachers remain adamant in their poor behaviours and attitudes.

He underscored the need for tutors and teachers at all levels to optimistically cast their net much wider by capitalising on the T-TEL project to reverse the falling standards of education in the country.
