Past students of Mawuli School urged to assist school

Accra, Nov 12, GNA - Dr Ruby Avotri, President of the Old Mawuli Students Union (OMSU), has called on past students of the school to pool their human, technical and financial resources towards the development of their Alma Mater.

She said "The time for apathy is over, and it is time for all of us to put our shoulders to the wheel, in order to help rebuild Mawuli School."

Dr Avotri made the call at this year's OMSU Congress on the theme: "Raising The Image Of Mawuli School: The Role Of The Old Student," in Accra over the weekend.

She commended the founding fathers of the Union for their foresight, dedicated services to make Mawuli School regain its place among the prime schools in the country.

Dr Avotri said that the holding of every two congresses in Accra, OMSU would organise a third one at their Alma Mater as a homecoming event.

Mr David Afedego, Headmaster of Mawuli School, said there was a remarkable improvement in the behaviour of students. He said that out of 425 students presented for this year's West Africa Senior High School Certificate Examinations, 359 passed in six to eight subjects, bringing the percentage pass to 84.5. Mr. Afedego said the school was first in last year's Zonal Music and Cultural Competition, organised for schools in the Volta Region and represented the zone at the regional level. He said the two-storey 18 units classroom block which was constructed with GETFund, had been completed, while a two-storey administration and library complex with the same source of funding, was almost at the roofing stage.

Mr. Afedego appealed to the past students and philanthropists to assist the school to complete on-going projects. He mentioned the construction of a Fence-wall, renovation of a basketball court and a science lecture room, and the provision of furniture and home science equipment. Mr. Afedego called for a closer collaboration between the school authorities and stakeholders towards the development of the school. Mr Nelson Agbesi, a legal practitioner and an old student of the school, gave the assurance the Agbesi Committee, would tackle the plems of Indiscipline; Moral Decadence and Falling Academic Standards among students of the School, in order to bring it to its former glory.
