A young Ghanaian man has shown gratitude to his former teacher for positively impacting his life during his time at school.

The young man, identified on TikTok as Bengaaze, drove to his old alma mater, Ekotsi D/A Basic School, to surprise the teacher, a female, with a brand-new iPhone 16.

While expressing his heartfelt gratitude to his former tutor for her dedication, he also encouraged teachers in Ghana to emulate her.

"I'm here with my friends to surprise my former teacher with an iPhone 16. If you are a teacher, be good to your students. If you are watching this video, be kind, it's very important. You see how we have surprised our madam," he said.

In a video circulating on social media, the Ghanaian teacher seemed visibly touched by the surprise gift and expressed her joy and gratitude towards her former student.

Other colleagues of the teacher also joined her to thank Bengaaze and his friends for the thoughtful gesture and incredible show of gratitude.

This act of kindness underscores the significant role teachers play in shaping their students' futures and the lasting impact they can have on their lives.

Despite the important role they play, teachers in Ghana are some of the least paid professionals in the country.

According to Mywage.com, the average monthly salary for a basic school teacher in Ghana is around GH¢2,000, especially for those in government institutions.

However, salaries can range between GH¢1,754 to GH¢15,082 per month, depending on rank, experience, and the type of school.
