The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West, Gizella Tetteh Agbotui, has reaffirmed her commitment to improving teacher welfare and upgrading educational infrastructure across the constituency.
Speaking at a workshop organised in collaboration with the International Community for Learning and Social Spectrum, the MP—who also serves as Deputy Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources—highlighted the need for both capacity building and better working conditions for teachers.
The workshop focused on equipping educators with skills in artificial intelligence and modern technology to enhance teaching and learning outcomes in schools.
According to her, such initiatives are critical in preparing teachers for the demands of an increasingly digital world. However, she stressed that training alone is insufficient without adequate infrastructure.
“We are equipping teachers with modern skills, but it is equally important to provide the right environment for them to apply this knowledge,” she noted, pointing to the need for improved school facilities, renovations, and better accommodation.
She also revealed plans to complete abandoned teacher bungalow projects in the constituency, describing decent housing as a key factor in teacher motivation and retention.
Also addressing participants, Awutu Senya West District Chief Executive, Kalala Nyamekye Hagan, urged teachers to embrace technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, to improve their work and positively impact students.
Meanwhile, educational psychologist Marian Benewaa Babah-Alargi encouraged teachers to avoid discrimination in the classroom, stressing that every child possesses unique abilities that must be nurtured.
The event forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen education delivery in the constituency through innovation, infrastructure development, and teacher support.
