The Municipal Chief Executive for the Ketu South Municipal Assembly, Hon. Elliot Edem Agbenorwu, has cautioned students of the St. Paul’s Senior High in Denu, to shy away from actions that could jeopardize their academic dreams.
According to the MCE, management of the school has informed him about a list being referred to as ‘wanted list’ with records of students who have constantly been engaging in a number of misconducts; for which he has advised the school authorities to take disciplinary actions.
He noted that such misconducts could ruin the investment of government into there education.
“I want to take this opportunity to caution you against such misconducts, because it could ruin government’s investment in you. I have therefore advised the headmaster of the school, to de-boardinized such students who are on the wanted list,” he said.
The MCE made the statement while addressing students and staff of the school, when he commissioned and handed over 3-unit classroom block to them on Thursday.
Mr. Agbenorwu reiterated government’s commitment to ensuring quality education, through the provision of quality infrastructure.
He urged the third year students to commit themselves towards serious academic work as they prepare to sit for their final exams.
Classroom block
The MCE noted that the 3-unit classroom block was built within a record 4-months period, as part of government’s interventions to bridge the infrastructure deficit associated with the Free SHS policy.
The facility was funded through GETfund at a cost of Ghc 375,000.
In his appreciation speech, the headmaster of the school, Mr. Augustine Dziwornu Amedeka, appealed to government to provide the school with more infrastructure, as the current population of the school outnumbers the available facilities.
He said “though the support given us by government is enormous, like Oliver Twist, we shall ask for more; this is because, human needs are always unlimited.
We wish to appeal to your outfit [Municipal Assembly] to provide us with the following urgent needs; we need ultra-modern kitchen and dining hall, a multi-purpose assembly hall and a school bus and a pick-up vehicle,” he said.
He added that the school would need government support to complete an ongoing but abandoned dormitory project in order to reduce accommodation challenges that the school currently faces.
