The Second Speech and Prize Giving Day of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Junior Secondary School was held in Kumasi at the weekend. The guest of honour was Professor E.H. Amoono-Neizer, vice Chancellor of KNUST.
He urged parents and guardians to be prepared and willing to fund the necessary projects that promote and sustain quality education in community schools.
Prof. Amoono-Neizer expressed the hope that parents and guardians whose children attended such schools were not insulated form that obligation.
He assured the management of the school that the University administration would provide funds to complete a workshop, an assembly hall and a library to improve the school's environment that promotes the intellectual, moral and physical development of four children.
Mrs. Theodosia Jackson, the headmistress asked parents visits to the school to find out the progress and that will serve as a motivating factor for them to study hard to make the required two students, Irene Oppong-Peprah and Ato Appiah for winning International Art awards and those students who excelled in last year's B.E.C.E.
Mrs. Jackson appealed to the PTA and donors to institute more awards, especially, for dedicated teachers to motivate and encourage them to excel in all spheres of life. The overall best students in Forms One, Two and Three, were Master Daniel A. Bediako, Yaa Prempeh Sarpong and Anita Esinam Agbeko respectively.
