Assembly wants education service to take over school

Kuntanase (Ashanti), 3rd May ?99 -

The Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District Assembly, has appealed to the Ghana Education Service to absorb the Trede Senior Secondary School currently being managed by the Assembly to relief it if the burden of running it.

Mr I. K. Nyame, District Chief Executive, it has become difficult for the Assembly to continue running the school which it established many years ago because of the high cost of over heads and lack of resources.

He said the Assembly decided to cater for the school to make education accessible to the inhabitants of Trede area and expressed disappointment at the low enrolment level.

Mr Nyame asked the chiefs to impress it upon the people to send their children to the school instead of taking them to the, ?so called big schools? outside the district.

Mrs Gladys Kwapong, District Director of Education, appealed to Chiefs and Unit Committees to provide decent accommodation for teachers to entice them to accept postings to their areas.

They should also monitor the activities and output of not only teachers but their wards as well to supplement the efforts of School Management Committees.
