Prudential Bank Limited (PBL) has donated a Nissan Navara 4×4 pickup truck for the sixth consecutive year to support the Ghana Teacher Prize.
The vehicle will be presented to the first runner-up at the upcoming awards ceremony, scheduled for October 5, 2025, at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) Cedi Auditorium in Ho.
At a brief ceremony in Accra, the Executive Head of Corporate and Institutional Banking at PBL, Edward Commey, handed over the vehicle to the National Teaching Council (NTC) on behalf of the Bank.
He expressed pride in the partnership with the Ministry of Education, the NTC, and the Ghana Teacher Prize, saying the initiative continues to inspire teachers nationwide.
“Quality education is fundamental to societal advancement. Education equips individuals, fuels economic progress, and strengthens community bonds,” Mr. Commey noted.
He was accompanied by the Bank’s Head of Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Akosua A. Boahen.
Receiving the vehicle, NTC Registrar Dr. Christian Addai-Poku commended Prudential Bank for its sustained contribution toward improving teacher motivation and performance.
He stressed that recognising excellence in education aligns with national development goals and urged other corporate institutions to emulate PBL’s commitment.
The 2025 Ghana Teacher Prize, now in its seventh year since its rebranding from the Best Teacher Awards, marks 31 years of celebrating exceptional educators.
Since 1994, teachers have been honoured with houses, vehicles, and monetary awards to motivate excellence and dedication to service.
This year’s celebrations will kick off with a two-day symposium and exhibition at the Volta Serene Hotel from October 3 to 4, before culminating in the grand ceremony on World Teachers’ Day, October 5.
President John Dramani Mahama will grace the occasion as the Special Guest of Honour.
