Correspondence from Bono Region:
More than 700 teachers have boycotted the Common Core Programme(CCP) currently underway in Sunyani in the Bono region.
The teachers drawn from the Bono, Bono East, and Bono East regions are undergoing a five-day training for the commencement of the new curriculum from Basic 7 to Basic 10 staged the boycott on Tuesday, December 29, 2020.
The training which is taking place on the campus of the Sunyani Technical University(STU) hit a snag on Tuesday morning as the teachers refused to take part.
The decision not to continue with the training stems from what they describe as attempts by authorities to short-change them.
