“There’s Nothing You Can Do if You Don’t Take Loans”: Teacher Laments in Video, Says She Goes Home With N31k

• A GES teacher has indicated that she currently takes home a meagre GH₵600 GH₵600 (N31,066.83) monthly for her work
• According to Ernestina, she has had to take loans in order to pay her rent and bills, which have eaten off her GH₵1,800 (N92,900.49) salary
• Ernestina further explained that her only source of joy now is how the children make her laugh, coupled with the fact that she has a family

A young Ghanaian professional teacher called Ernestina has shared how she struggles to make ends meet although she works as a professional teacher with the Ghana Education Service.

According to her, she has been compelled to take loans in order to meet the financial demands she has to carry, and that has left her with no option but to survive on the meagre income.

Ernestina explains what makes her happy

In the words of Ernestina who teaches about 300 students:

"It's funny how we do it but we manage. There is nothing you can do if you don't take a loan. So they deduct it monthly from your salary. Personally, I need to pay for my rent and my child's school fees."

The young lady, whose gross salary is GHc1,800 (N92,900.49), revealed that as of now, the only elements in her life that bring joy and fulfilment are her family and the children she teaches because they make her happy.
