THE Northern Regional Director of Education, Mrs Elizabeth De-Souza, has cautioned students against engaging in negative acts and joining bad company that could ruin their future.
She equally advised students to take their studies seriously, stressing that “you the boys must avoid smoking and the girls should desist from accepting gifts like mobile phones and watches from strangers”.
Mrs De-Souza was speaking during the presentation of a 21-inch colour television set and deck to the authorities of the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO) in Tamale. The items were donated by the office of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to honour the school for excelling in this year’s Regional Independence Day debate programme.
The director entreated students of GHANASCO to aim beyond the sky in all their endeavours and said “you must make your school the home of learning and remember that whatever you do here is not in vain”.
She observed that the students had the potential to aspire to the highest level in life and stressed that the holding of debates in the school was one of the activities meant to encourage them to master the art of speaking in public.
Mrs De-Souza therefore called on teachers of the school to continue to work hard to enable the school to maintain discipline and high academic performance.
The Headmistress of the school, Mrs Mary Asobayire Dan-Braimah, announced that the school had been provided with 248 compact discs (CDs) on English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Chemistry and Physics under the President’s Special Initiative on Distance Learning.
She observed that GHANASCO had over the years proved that it was a force to reckon with regarding national and regional debates.
Mrs Dan-Braimah intimated for instance that in 2003, the school emerged winner of a national Independence Day debate competition.
According to her, the school also won the regional Independence Day debate competition in 2007.
