Renowned Ghanaian comedian and professional teacher, Teacher Kwadwo who lost his job as a teacher in 2021 is coming back to the classroom.
Reports suggest that the Ghana Education Service (GES) has reinstated him.
Teacher Kwadwo, also a prolific content creator, used his influence to demand quicker action to some basic problems at the primary level of the education system. Maybe, this was a wrong move!
The GES began investigating his professional conduct. Authorities claimed that Teacher Kwadwo had absented himself from the classroom on 55 working days in one academic year alone.
The fine comedian was accused of refusing to prepare lesson plan as a professional teacher and ignoring the directive to the District Director to prepare the lesson plan.
Further, Teacher Kwadwo was said to have refused to submit Lesson Notes for vetting by his headteacher.
He was also accused of exhibiting the ‘highest level of insubordination towards the District Director and the School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) responsible for his school as well as the headteacher of his school, and that he in some instances refused to respond to queries served him by both the headteacher and the SISO’.
The GES investigations revealed that Teacher Kwadwo ‘even refused to respond to a query issued to him by the District Director and in addition refused to appear before a panel set up by the District Director to investigate his conduct’.
In a letter dated October 27, 2021, the GES terminated his appointment.
His headteacher was demoted to a classroom teacher for being ‘incompetent’ and unable to stamp his authority and whip him into line.
The SISO who was expected to supervise his work was also re-assigned from his current role to a classroom teacher in a different district.
