Students urged to reciprocate Government's gesture

Juaso, (Ash), Aug 5, GNA- Students have been asked to eschew negative tendencies and study hard to justify the huge investment being made by government in the education sector. Mr Abdul Karim Boakye-Yiadom, Asante Akim South District Chief Executive (DCE), who gave the advice, said the nation's development depended largely on the youth.

He was speaking at a ceremony to hand over two buses presented by government to Juaso Senior High School and Bompata Presbyterian Senior High School at Juaso on Thursday.

The buses were purchased from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND) and the two schools were among 34 others selected in the Ashanti Region for consideration for presentation of vehicles.

Mr. Boakye-Yiadom asked students to take advantage of the enabling environment created by government to study and pass their examinations. He entreated students to strive for excellence in their pursuit for academic laurels since the foundation had been laid for them to perform. Mr Samuel Agyapong, headmaster of Bompata Presbyterian Senior High School on behalf of the two schools expressed gratitude to government for the assistance. He said the buses would help address the transportation problem of the schools and promised their proper maintenance.
