In Ghana’s education space, a long-held perception persists that private schools outperform public schools and that pupils in government institutions struggle with spoken English, confidence, and articulation. At Dodowa Newtown D A Basic School, however, one teacher is quietly and consistently proving that narrative wrong.
Madam Deborah Crentsil, a dedicated public-school teacher, has become the driving force behind a group of eloquent, confident, and well-groomed pupils whose presence alone challenges deeply rooted stereotypes. Through commitment, discipline, and intentional mentorship, she is shaping learners who communicate clearly, carry themselves with confidence, and take pride in both their appearance and their education.
Madam Crentsil’s work goes beyond academic instruction. She is deliberate about nurturing self-expression, critical thinking, and confidence in her pupils, ensuring that they are not defined by the limitations often associated with public education. Her approach demonstrates that excellence is not determined by whether a school is public or private, but by the passion and dedication of the teacher in the classroom.
By choosing to break the stereotype one child at a time, Madam Deborah Crentsil is not only transforming lives but also reshaping perceptions about government schools and the calibre of students they produce.
Her story stands as a powerful reminder that within Ghana’s public education system are teachers who are doing exceptional work, often with limited resources, yet achieving remarkable outcomes.
As a nation, these educators deserve recognition and celebration. If you know a teacher who is going above and beyond for his or her learners, their efforts deserve to be acknowledged as part of the collective work of building Ghana’s future.
