NAGRAT urges political parties to prioritise teacher welfare

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has urged political parties to prioritize teachers' welfare in their education policies, beyond just focusing on students.

NAGRAT expressed frustration over poor working conditions, such as lack of housing in rural areas and delayed allowances.

The association called for improved welfare packages, housing policies, and teaching facilities.

NAGRAT also stressed the need to enhance, not cancel, the Free SHS policy.

They emphasized that motivated teachers are crucial to improving education, urging political parties to make teachers central in policy development.
