CREP Africa condemns the attempt to turn teachers into security officers in the fight against drug abuse in schools. Teachers are educators, not police or NACOC agents.

Thousands of Ghanaian teachers are celebrating promotions following the 2025 GES examination results, but beneath the excitement lies a difficult reality. Many promoted teachers still face poor working conditions, modest salary increases, and economic hardship despite attaining senior ranks.
