Only 30% of Ghanaian teachers satisfied with their jobs – CAPCOE data reveals

The campaign, supported by Education International and teacher unions across the country, is calling on the government to: Increase funding for public education infrastructure and resources Improve teacher remuneration and working conditions Regulate private education providers to prevent exploitation Make quality public education accessible to every Ghanaian child Looking Ahead As CAPCOE continues its regional outreach, the 30% statistic will remain a central talking point — a stark numerical reminder that those tasked with shaping Ghana's future are themselves struggling to find hope in their own profession.

A Call to Action CAPCOE's message is clear: without urgent government investment in public education, the dual crises of teacher dissatisfaction and privatisation will only deepen.

The alarming statistic was revealed at a regional training workshop held at Akina Hotel in Techiman, where CAPCOE, in partnership with Education International and various teacher unions, gathered union leaders, members, and education stakeholders to strategise against the growing threat of privatisation in Ghana's education sector.
