Cape Coast, Oct. 6, GNA - The Central Regional branch of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), on Monday organized fun games to commemorate this year's World Teachers Day celebration in Cape Coast.

This year's celebration was on the theme 'Empowering teachers, building sustainable societies.'

Addressing the teachers, the Central Regional Director of Education, Mr. Bartholomew Kobina Ofori commended GNAT for standing tall among all the labour unions and championing the implementation of some key education strategic plan to meet the Millennium Development Goal two (2).

He said there was the need to empower the teacher through a sustainable professional development and economic leverage to be able to achieve an improved socio-economic development in the country.

He stressed that the theme for the celebration was appropriate as it highlighted the importance of teacher empowerment for providing quality education and building sustainable societies for all.

The Central Regional Secretary and the National Secretary designate of GNAT, Mr. David Ofori Acheampong commended his colleague teachers for fully participating and showing maturity throughout the games.

He urged all teachers to take the Teachers Day Celebration serious and actively involve themselves in any activities that would be lined up to commemorate the day.

At the end of the games, teachers from the Cape Coast Metropolis defeated their counterparts from Efutu District 2-0 in the grand finale of the women volleyball while KEEA and Mfantseman played in the men soccer.

Doctors from the Doctors in Service (DIS) clinic in Cape Coast were at the scene to provide health screening for the teachers at a reduced cost.
