Serwaa Amihere is vocal about her displeasure with some teachers who have been deliberately mocking their students on social media.
The Ghana Education Service has been urged to stop what is increasingly becoming a practice on social media by the GhOne TV presenter.
According to Serwaa Amihere, some teachers upload amusing videos of their students online.
“Recently, there is a practice where some teachers in schools in Ghana, record an interaction between their pupils and put it on social media for likes and engagements,” she said.
She emphasises that “if such videos were highlighting the challenges these school children go through to access education and seek help for them, I wouldn’t have a problem However, these videos make mockery of these kids who either struggle to express themselves in English or other areas”.

Serwaa Amihere has urged the GES to take action to stop the practice in a series of tweets because she claims it has a significant negative impact on students’ self-confidence.
“I entreat the Ministry of Education and GES to end this practice by some teachers because it is not right and can destroy the confidence of the kids,” she said.
“The digital footprints such videos will leave will go a long way to hurt some of these kids and we need to come together with a common voice to end this Let us protect our kids,” she concluded.
