Mr. Joseph Kwabena Onyinah, Ashanti Regional Director of Education, has advised teachers to desist from rushing to the media to address their grievances.
The Ghana Education Service (GES), he said, has laid down communication structures which teachers should resort to to address their problems.
Mr. Onyinah said he was not happy about recent developments in the GES where some teachers divulged confidential information to the media without using or exhausting the numerous channels that exist in the service.
He expressed the concern when the national executives of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), led by Mr. Kawaku Adjei, the National President and Madam Duncan Adanusa, the General Secretary, paid a courtesy call on him in Kumasi.
The GNAT Executives were on a four-day official visit to the Ashanti Region as part of the association's routine interaction with its members.
Mr. Onyinah said anything that affects teachers also affects management at all levels of the service and advised them to be circumspect in divulging information to the media in order not to damage the corporate image of the service.
