Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Vice Presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has highlighted the achievements of the NPP government, led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in advancing the welfare and development of teachers.

Speaking to teacher groups in the Ashanti Region, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, a former Minister of Education, underscored the government's efforts to enhance teachers' service conditions.

He pointed out that the starting salary of teachers has tripled since 2016, describing it as a significant milestone under the NPP administration.

"The NPP government has consistently prioritised the welfare of teachers, recognising their invaluable role in shaping the education process and the nation's future," he said.

He added that under the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party remains committed to sustaining this focus and delivering on its promises to teachers.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh opened a three-storey multipurpose auditorium in AshTown as part of his legacy project as the outgoing Member of Parliament for Manhyia South.

The facility, equipped with ancillary amenities and well-designed external features, is set to serve as a modern venue for religious gatherings, social functions, and community events.

"This project reflects our collective efforts to enhance social infrastructure in Manhyia South. It is my hope that this facility will not only address the immediate needs of the community but also inspire unity and foster development for generations to come," he emphasised.
