Mr. Ebow Barton Oduro, a Deputy Minister of Justice and Attorney General, on Thursday advocated that teachers in special educational institutions such as school for the deaf and blind, should be given special remunerations and allowances to motivate them to give off their best.

He said it was unfair for teachers in such schools to receive the same salary as that of teachers in ordinary schools, and asked the Ministry of Education to address the issue.

Mr. Oduro, who is also Member of Parliament for Cape Coast, made the call when he donated items to the Cape Coast School for the Deaf, at Cape Coast.

The items included 10 bags of rice, maize and beans, plastic cups, plates, buckets and basins, 10 cartons of soft drink and 10 bales of used clothes.

Mr. Oduro supported Lion’s Club with 6,000 Ghana cedis towards the construction of a hearing assessment centre for the school.

He said government was commitment to providing quality education for children disabilities, especially the deaf and blind, and stressed that everything would be done to address their needs.

Mr. Oduro asked the schools authorities to assess the disability fund which forms part of the district Assembly Common Fund to enable them solve some of their essential needs.

He commended teachers and staff of the school for their efforts at training children with disabilities to become useful to society.

Madam Baaba Enim, Headmistress of school, received the items on behalf of the school and thanked Mr. Oduro for the gesture.

She appealed to the MP to help the school to register inmates under the National Health Insurance Scheme, provide computers for the institution, a playing field and sporting equipment, assembly hall and rehabilitate the road leading to the school.
