Are you applying to a school as a teacher? Do you need a perfect application sample to help you get the job easily? Then you are at the right place. In this guide, we give you a complete step by step guide on how to write an application for employment as a teacher, specifically in Ghana.
In Ghana and other African countries, teachers are regarded as a body of knowledge and more or less second parents to students. It is seen this way because teachers do not only impart book knowledge but they also influence students in other ways. In a nutshell, we can say that:
A teacher is a professional who imparts knowledge, skill and values to individuals who come together with a common intention to learn. Teachers also serve as mentors to the students they teach because some students actually look up to those who teach them and are inspired to be like them.
Teaching can be formal and informal. The formal method of teaching usually takes place in the classroom setting while informal teaching is described as teaching that takes place away from the classroom setting, that is in homes or any other conducive location which is chosen by the teacher or student.
In Ghana, the Ghana Education Service (G.E.S) is the government body in charge of implementing government policies that ensure that Ghanaians of school-going age have access to quality formal education.
