The Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, Ms Sherry Ayittey, has emphasized that unless the Ghana Education Service (GES) comes out with incentive packages to motivate teachers, a lot of them will not teach in rural areas. She was commenting on the motivation of teachers as the guest speaker at the 39th speech and Prize-Giving Day of Swedru Secondary School (SWESCO), the first co-educational institution to be established under the Ghana Educational Trust in 1959. She stressed on the need to encourage science and technology education in second cycle institutions. This, she said, will not only make Ghana’s dream of becoming a middle income industrialized nation by the next fifteen to twenty years come true, but will “enhance the greatest under-taking for Ghana to move from the backwaters of development to the frontier of industrialization.
