Of Teachers’ Affairs with Students
Dear Editor,
I am very worried about the news of some teachers having love relationships with their students. This is a serious problem that must be stopped. Teachers are supposed to guide and protect students, not take advantage of them.
When a teacher develops a relationship with a student, it destroys trust, affects the student’s learning, and can cause emotional pain. It also gives a bad name to the teaching profession.
Schools and education leaders must take strong exception to this action and stop it. Teachers who break the rules should be punished, and students must be given a safe way to report such cases.
Parents also need to pay attention, and students should be encouraged to speak up without fear. Schools should be safe places for learning, not places where children are abused or misled.
We must protect our children and keep the teaching profession clean.

Dear Sir,
I wish to use this platform to congratulate all farmers in Ghana for their hard work and dedication to duty on the occasion of 2025 Farmers’ Day celebration.
Yesterday, in Ho in the Volta Region, Ghana marked the 41st edition of the celebration instituted by late former president, Jerry John Rawlings. It was marked under an excellent theme “Eat Ghana, Grow Ghana, Secure the future.” The aim was to promote local consumption, food security and the transformation of agriculture into a key driver of the economy.
The message it seeks to send out there is very loud and clear. That, every Ghanaian should strive to consume food produced locally. The work of our gallant farmers would amount to nothing if Ghanaians fail to consume what they toil morning, day and night to produce.
Farmers in Ghana are one group of people we must continue to celebrate and adore. They work so hard to ensure that food reaches every home in Ghana. And on such occasions, it is important to honour them like its done every year but one thing I wish to bring to the attention of government is that it is important to mechanically support the activities of these farmers and secondly, make the agric sector very attractive for the youth.
The youth have become so fixated on white-collar jobs which are currently non-existing. Government must therefore make the sector attractive enough for the youth to veer into the area.

Dear Editor,
MAY I please use your respected medium to commend the establishment of Parliament television. Through this initiative, many Ghanaians, including my very self, get the chance to follow the activities of the legislative arm of government. We see the processes they go through in passing laws and making amendments.
Recently, I have been following their activities including discussion on the budget read by the Finance Minister, Dr Casiel Ato Forson. I was so happy with the estimates for the roads ministry especially because of the nature of our roads. A lot of our roads connecting the capital to other regions are very bad, making traveling very difficult and quite stressful.
I wish to appeal to the two divides in the house of parliament to bury their political differences to do a good work on the estimates for speedy approvals. That would help the ministry fulfil its financial obligations for contractors to move to site and ensure that our roads get the needed facelifts to make travelling easy and enjoyable.
Kwame Eugene,
Kasoa
