The President of the Ghana Association of Science Teachers, Dr Christian Anthony Krueger has requested government and other insurance companies to consider instituting block insurance policy for all manner of people involved in science education in the country’s schools and colleges. This, he said, will at least boost the morale of teachers and moreover make them to be committed to their jobs. Dr Krueger who was speaking in an interview with Radio Ghana at Bolgatanga, described as challenging, the task of personnel involved in science education particularly laboratory technician since they are expose to lots of risk. Apart from the hazards associated with their jobs, the work of the laboratory technician requires time, energy; material and monetary resources to deliver, therefore a de-motivated science teacher or laboratory technician will not go the extra mile to spend time after official hours to prepare adequately for his students. The work of the laboratory technician he further noted is so crucial that without them the science teacher will not be able to prepare adequately for laboratory based practical lesson. Suggesting the way forward, Dr Krueger indicated that the science teacher and the laboratory technicians do not necessarily need money as means of job satisfaction or motivation but rather facilities must be provided to promote satisfaction in their job.
