Mr Baidoe said this to mark the 5th Timothy Ansah memorial lectures at the Nsein Senior High School.

The MCE was the second and longest serving Headmaster of the school then Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School.

Speaking on the topic: '"The role of Nsein Old Student Association (NOSA) in contemporary times", Mr Baidoe implored old students to put bitter memories of the past behind them and re-direct their focus on the development of their alma mater.

He asked continuing and old students to emulate the shining example of the legend Timothy Ansah who was a symbol of peace and unity.

The MCE noticed the need to put more premium on Guidance and Counselling units in schools to help nurture students morally and academically and called for proper networking to bring all students on board to contribute to the running of the school.

Speaking on the topic:" Train up a child the way it should go so that it will not depart from it” the Vice-Principal of the Methodist University College in Accra, Professor Joseph W.Y. Edusah Eyison charged parents to bring up their children ion the fear of God and inculcate sound moral doctrines into them to contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation.

He urged parents to educate their children to the highest level and help them to acquire knowledge relevant to the socio-economic needs of the country.

Prof Eyison expressed wary about the decline of the teaching and learning of music in schools, a feat the late Ansah achieved.

He said the debate as to using a local language in instructional delivery and national discourse must be vigorously pursued.

The Member of Parliament for Ellembelle, Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, an old boy of the school, admitted that Mr Ansah stood for discipline, and dedication to duty and advised students to emulate his exemplary leadership.

He pledged his readiness to help transform the school and asked NOSA members to come on board to put the school on a high pedestal to make it an enviable one in the country.

Mr Buah, who doubles as the Minister of Petroleum, donated GH?5,000.00in aid of expansion of the school's dinning hall and also received an award for his contribution to the development of the school.

The headmaster of the school, Mr Ebenezer Mensah Acquaah urged NOSA to unite and help the entire staff to move the school forward.

He said the school scored 100 per cent in the WASSCE for the past four years and scored 98 per cent this year and hopes to make it one of the best in the Western Region.

The President of NOSA, Nana Nkwantabisa said what is unique about his former headmaster was his capability to create and teach.

He said as the longest serving headmaster of the school, Mr Ansah prepared students to become good statesmen and women.

He called on NOSA members to contribute their quota towards the development of the school.
