This amount is woefully inadequate and can&#8217;t take care of our every \u00adday needs, as some of us have wives and children to take care of,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Satchi advised manage\u00adment of the institution to, as a matter of urgency, increase their salaries or prepare for a strike, stating &#8220;we will not take any amount below GHc 15 per hour. That is the minimum amount we the teachers are\u00a0demanding.<\/p>\n<p>He accused the Director of the Institute, Patrice Gilles, of refusing to improve the plight of teach\u00aders.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that Gilles had sacked some of the teachers without any tangi\u00adble reason and refused to pay them, stressing that as a result, some teachers had dragged him to court.<\/p>\n<p>Satchi claimed that the Director had appointed foreigners to occupy positions reserved for Ghanaians in the school, stressing that they were being paid huge salaries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not right and he must stop. Those positions are exclusively for Ghana\u00adians.<\/p>\n<p>Raymond Kwawu of the External Projects Department and a member of the working committee at the institute, said &#8220;We are ready to go any length to ensure that we receive the right amount. If by close of today he is unable to increase our salaries, then the strike will begin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Information gathered from the school indicated that students from neighboring Francophone countries pay 1,380 Euros a year for any of the profes\u00adsional courses while stu\u00addents from Ghana and\u00a0\u00a0other English-speaking\u00a0 countries pay GHc1,200 a year.<\/p>\n<p>Between GHc 300 and\u00a0\u00a0GHc 400 is charged for normal\u00a0\u00a0English studies covering a period of six months,while companies, who\u00a0request for extra services\u00a0from teachers, pay $35 per\u00a0hour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0Daily Guide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers at Alliance Francaise, a bilingual training institute in Accra, have threatened to embark on an indefinite strike if management of the institute fails to increase their salaries.
