The District Director emphasized the importance of such training sessions for teachers to enhance their professional skills and urged cooperation from all stakeholders in ensuring the effective delivery of education in the Wa West District.

This is not the first time GES is quering teachers. Headmasters also do query teachers who fail to follow the laid down rules of GES.

When a teacher is queried, they engage in a process aimed at providing authorities with a response. First, they ensure they understand the question before evaluating its relevance to the subject matter. This means, they must understand why they were queried.

Drawing upon their expertise, they craft a detailed response, striving for clarity and coherence pending reply from authorities. This often involves breaking down complex concepts, providing examples, or referencing pertinent resources. Ultimately, the goal is to address the query effectively and facilitate the student’s understanding of the topic at hand.
