Ashanti Region: GES Receives Significant Support Ahead of Ghana Teacher Prize 2024

The Ghana Education Service (GES) in the Ashanti Region has received substantial support from Twellium Industrial Company Limited in preparation for the 2024 edition of the Ghana Teacher Prize. The company, as part of its corporate social responsibility, has donated 6,000 bottles and 720 cartons of assorted drinks and Verna water to be served to participants during the three-day event, which will be held in Kumasi.

Scheduled to take place from Thursday, October 3 to Saturday, October 5, 2024, the Ghana Teacher Prize aims to recognize and celebrate exceptional teachers across the country. Formerly known as the National Best Teacher Award, this prestigious annual event acknowledges educators who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to their profession and make significant impacts on the lives of students.

At a brief ceremony to receive the donation, the Ashanti Regional Deputy Director for the GES expressed deep appreciation to Twellium Industrial Company Limited for their generous contribution. He outlined that the awards program would begin with a two-day symposium on Thursday and Friday at the Sunset Hotel in Kumasi, with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the guest of honor.

The grand finale of the event is set for Saturday, October 5, 2024, at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is expected to attend the grand durbar, emphasizing the importance of the event in Ghana’s educational landscape.

This year’s theme, *”Valuing Teacher Voices Towards a New Social Contract for Education,”* highlights the pivotal role of teachers in shaping education policies and reforms. It further underscores the need to empower educators to ensure the provision of inclusive, quality education that benefits all.

Mr. Thomas Kwame Boateng, a GES representative, noted that the awards would honor both teaching and non-teaching staff within the region. This initiative, he explained, is designed to motivate all educational workers to strive for excellence in their roles. He commended Twellium for their continued support, emphasizing how such partnerships help facilitate the smooth organization of the event.

On behalf of Twellium Industrial Company Limited, Ashanti Regional Trade Marketing Manager, Mr. Patrick Yeboah, reiterated the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting education. He highlighted the critical role that teachers play in national development, stressing that the company’s support for the Ghana Teacher Prize aligns with its broader mission to contribute to societal progress through education.

The Ghana Teacher Prize has evolved into one of the most prestigious national events, showcasing the dedication, hard work, and professionalism of teachers throughout the country. The event not only highlights the importance of teachers but also serves as a source of inspiration to others in the profession, encouraging them to continue pursuing excellence in their roles.

As anticipation builds for the 2024 awards, the support from Twellium Industrial Company Limited will undoubtedly play a key role in ensuring the event’s success, contributing to the celebration of the nation’s most exceptional educators.
