Also, a little bit of supervision and monitoring was done by Dr. Eric Nkansah at the selected schools he visited. Even though the main reason was not to check on teachers’ and headmasters’ attendance at schools, his presence at those schools could compel him to ask about the teachers and headmasters who were present and those who were absent. It has been observed that some teachers do not go to school on the exact date of resuming.  Therefore GES Director General’s visits to selected schools in the Western Region of Ghana are a wake-up call to all Ghanaian teachers to always report to school on time as scheduled by the Ghana Education Service in the school calendar.
