THE Member of Parliament (MP) for Ho-West, Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, has announced a package on infrastructure development for the Awudome Senior High School (AWUSCO) at Tsito in the Volta Region.
These include an administration block expected to start by the end of December, a girl’s dormitory block, a science block, two teachers bungalows, a computer laboratory and the procurement of furniture.
Mr Bedzrah ,who announced this at the Honours Day celebration of the school last weekend, said 20 students were also benefiting from an MP scholarship fund he has set up with the MP’s Common fund.
He assured the students that the government would meet all challenges associated with the provision of adequate infrastructure for all SHS in the country and hope that would inspire them to take their studies seriously.
In an address, the Regional Director of Ghana Education Service (GES), Mr Gabriel Kploanyi, advised students to eschew all negative practices that may retard their academic development and stressed “your friend must be the book”.
He asked students to refrain from mixing “ shittor” with illicit drugs since it could be a source of danger to innocent ones who might share the food with them.
Mr Kploanyi asked head’s of schools to exhibit good management practices and share experiences with each other to improve on the administration of schools.
He said teachers, as stakeholders, should be refined and not commercialise their services or engage in illicit relationships with students.
He commended the parent teacher association (PTA) for the great interest they had shown in the school.
He said there was the need to foster greater collaboration in order to improve service delivery in schools.
The Chairman of Board of Governors, Mr W.N Addae, underscored the essence of discipline since it served as the bedrock for good results.
He lamented the deplorable state of the science block and lack of access roads on the compound and called for state intervention to address the problems.
In his report, the Headmaster of the school, Mr Cyprian Kwasivi Otti, said the school is “a school of preferred choice” and called on all stakeholders to pool resources to uplift it to the desired level.
He called for a new multi-purpose assembly hall to forestall inconveniences faced by students during mealtimes since “students now run shifts for their meals”.
According to him, the present assembly hall was designed to accommodate 700 against the present 1,800 students enrolled.
The theme for the celebration was, “ Education-The Source for Accelerated Development in Ghana-A challenge to all stakeholders”.
