Prudential Bank LTD (PBL) has once again demonstrated its commitment to education by donating a brand-new Nissan Navara 4x4 pick-up truck to the upcoming Ghana Teacher Prize awards ceremony.
This marks the sixth consecutive year that PBL has supported the prestigious event. The vehicle will be presented to the first runner-up award winner of this year’s Ghana Teacher Prize.
The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
The Managing Director of Prudential Bank, Bernard Gyebi, who made the presentation on behalf of the bank, said Prudential Bank was honoured to partner the Ministry of Education, the National Teaching Council and the Ghana Teacher Prize brand to motivate teachers.
He said quality education was the cornerstone of progress and development as it empowers individuals, drives economic growth and fosters social cohesion.
“The vision for education in Ghana leaves no child behind; where every student has access to a high-quality education that equips them for the challenges of the 21st century.
Achieving this vision requires dedicated, well-trained and motivated teachers,” he said.
Motivation, he said, played a critical role in steering an employee's enthusiasm to work harder for increased productivity.
The Deputy Registrar of the National Teaching Council (NTC), Lawrence Sarpong, who received the vehicle on behalf of the Council and the Registrar, Dr Christian Addai-Poku, commended the bank for its contribution towards motivating teachers to work efficiently and effectively.
Mr Sarpong further reiterated that recognising teachers who had exceptionally executed their mandate was in the right direction.
“I am glad that Prudential Bank is associated with this worthy brand,” he said and called on other corporate bodies to emulate what PBL had done for the Teacher Prize brand.
The Ghana Teacher Prize 2024 marks the seventh year since the rebranding from Best Teacher Awards. The award scheme is 29 years this year.
The event will commence with a two-day symposium and exhibition at Sunset Hotel in Kumasi from Thursday, October 3 to Friday, October 4, 2024, and climax with a grand durbar at KNUST Great Hall, Kumasi, on World Teachers’ Day, slated for Saturday, October 5, 2024.
