Anum Presby Senior High School in the Eastern Region is grappling with a severe teacher shortage following the departure of some 21 teachers, causing disruptions in academic activities.

The Headmistress, Mrs. Stella Naa Enyo Atiase, in a letter dated March 11, 2025, and addressed to the Regional Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES) through the District Director of GES, highlighted the urgent need for replacements in key subject areas.

The affected subjects include:

Chemistry – 2 teachers needed Physics – 2 teachers needed Integrated Science – 4 teachers needed Core Mathematics – 5 teachers needed Government – 5 teachers needed Physical Education – 2 teachers needed Accounts Clerks – 2 personnel needed
According to the letter, the situation has arisen because teachers handling these subjects have vacated their posts and travelled abroad, leaving a critical gap in the school’s academic structure.

The Headmistress has appealed to GES for an urgent intervention to address the shortfall and prevent further disruptions to teaching and learning.
