Sample body of a rejoinder

I am writing to address several inaccuracies in the article titled “The State of Education in

Ghana,” published in The Daily Times on 15th August 2024. While the article raises some

valid concerns, it overlooks important facts that provide a more balanced view of the

situation.

Firstly, the claim that rural schools lack access to qualified teachers is misleading. According

to the Ministry of Education’s latest report, over 70% of rural schools have seen an increase

in teacher recruitment, with many newly qualified teachers choosing to work in these areas.

Furthermore, the article’s assertion that educational funding has decreased is incorrect. In

fact, the national budget for education has increased by 15% this year, with a significant

portion allocated to infrastructure development in underprivileged areas.

I hope that by addressing these points, the public will have a more accurate understanding

of the current state of education in Ghana. I trust that this rejoinder will be published to

provide a balanced perspective.

Closing

The closing is a polite way to end the letter, showing respect and professionalism.

Use a formal closing such as “Yours faithfully,” followed by your name. Skip one line after

the last paragraph of the body before the closing.

Example:

Yours faithfully,

Kwame Asante
