Mrs Sowah was awarded for improving the score and performance of students in the Ga Language.

She was presented with a 43-inch television set and a four-burner gas cooker.

The Awards appreciated seven teachers and 12 non-teaching staff in the Municipality for their role in improving teaching and learning.

The event was held on the theme, “The role of the 21st Century Teacher in Accelerating Socio-economic Development.”

Mrs Sowah expressed appreciation to the Municipal Education Directorate for the award and entreated her colleague teachers to give off their best.

She called on government and educational stakeholders to support the training of more Ga Language teachers in the Greater Accra Region.

Mr Victor Noye Tawiah, Ledzokuku Municipal Director of Education, said they instituted the awards scheme to reward teachers for their services.

“This would, going forward, motivate our teachers to continue to give off their best for the better of not only the LEKMA but the country as a whole,” he said.

The Municipal Director said education in the area had improved over the years, adding that, pupils and students in the Municipality had been participating in national competitions.

Mrs Joyce Orleans Madjitey, Chief Executive Officer, JOMADJ Christian College of Theology, speaking on the theme, entreated teachers to be proactive and think creatively in the face of emerging changes and challenges.

“Thinking outside the box should be aimed at going extra mile so as to have an impact on your learners’ ability to reach their highest potential so that their impact can be translated into key indicators of socio-economic development,” he added.

She said despite the challenges of the profession, they needed to develop a positive attitude towards work and continue to do their best.

The other six teachers awarded are: Alice Mbeah, best kindergarten teacher, winning a chest freezer; Samuel Bimpong, First Prize in Primary category, winning a chest freezer; Marcellina Nwakan, Second Prize in Primary category, winning a four-burner gas cooker and Love Amenyah, Third Prize in Primary Category, winning 32-inch television.
