Four million, one hundred thousand people are currently taught in Ghana’s private schools. The over 500 private schools, though providing 30 percent of Ghana’s education needs, are so poor that many pay their teachers between 200 and 300 Cedis a month.
Since the government closed all schools as part of the Covid-19 containment policy, teachers have been home without being paid, as most parents wouldn’t pay school fees for no tuition.
A non-governmental organisation called Neogenics Education Group has been crusading of late for the private school proprietors and teachers.

In reaction, Dr Adutwum said plans must be put in place to cushion businesses against such pandemics and business hiccups, going forward.
