The Interviewer proceeded to ask for an explanation of the answer, and she replied that the salary of an average teacher is not up ¢1,000 (Thousand Cedis), which is a lie.

In the Tertiary level, teachers receive ¢3,000 to ¢15,000 or above. The salary increases with time and experience, and with further education to upgrade their certificates.
Many people in Ghana regard the teaching profession as being underpaid and less respected. Though teacher salaries are not as high as those in some developed countries, teachers earn more than the figure the lady mentioned in her statement.

While everyone is entitled to their opinion, many online users were offended by her statement, feeling that it insulted the profession that taught her essential skills like reading and writing.

The lady advised teachers to take risks by venturing into other jobs to have a double stream of income.
