Diana’s disclosure has also sparked a conversation about the importance of teaching and the role of teachers in society.

Overall, Diana Asamoah’s revelation about her past as a teacher has generated a lot of interest and discussion online. While some may see it as a humorous anecdote, others see it as a testament to the importance of education and the role of teachers in shaping the future of our society.
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Hit FM’s morning show, Daybreak Hitz, she said her father who was a teacher influenced her to get into teaching after she completed elementary school in 1987.
“You know, in those days, they employed pupil teachers. When I completed school my father wanted me to learn how to sew clothes in Kumasi but he had not bought the sewing machine and other things I needed at that time so I thought of selling beans, soap and other items. However, he did not like the idea of me moving around people’s houses to sell. He feared that I could be raped.
“He then told me that a pupil teacher at Saint Monica’s school was going for further studies at the training college so I should go and replace the teacher for the time being. When they noticed that I was doing well, they made me a ‘substitute teacher’ for every teacher that was absent,” she noted.
