THE Volta Regional Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Mr Gabriel S. Kploanyi, has presented GH¢100 to Miss Edith Amoah of the Kpeve Senior High School in the South Dayi District in recognition of her meritorious academic achievements.
Miss Amoah excelled in English Language, Mathematics, Science and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and swept all the prizes at stake at the 15th speech and prize-giving day of the school and the feat touched the heart of the regional director to make the offer.
Presenting the money to Miss Amoah on behalf of the regional director, the board chairman of the school, Mr Michael Doh, said the presentation was a gesture to encourage students to work hard to achieve high academic standards.
He said it was aimed at motivating Miss Amoah to study harder and also to advise her not to be complacent or arrogant but work towards achieving the ultimate in the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASCCE).
He advised the rest of the students to study hard to challenge Miss Amoah’s achievements in order to bring honour to their parents and the school.
Mr Doh commended Miss Amoah for her good conduct, saying she had always served as a role model to the students and appealed to the benevolent public to extend sponsorship to her for her future education.
In his address, the Headmaster of the school, Mr Sampson Kudaya, also commended Miss Amoah for her achievement and said it attracted positive media coverage on the school.
He appealed to the government to extend more assistance to deprived schools, since they contained gems and icons who were better than some of their colleagues in well-endowed schools.
Mr Kudaya said Vodafone had donated five computers to the school, while Ghana Cement Works had also donated 80 bags of cement for constructional work in the school.
Receiving the money, Miss Amoah thanked the regional director and said it had raised her spirit to perform even better.
