Why will a lady not confront her colleague head on and rather resort to this medium. You are your own enemies.

Seems to me you have a personal feud with the Headmistress!
Assisi is Catholic and Government Supported School so if the stories are true why not approach the Catholic authorities rather than use this medium? I can tell you from my own experience that they act swifterly much more than Government authorities. That is even supposing that these things that you mention are happening on the blind side of the Catholic Authorities! For instance nowhere have you mentioned that you brought this up with the School Board Chairperson who is normally the Bishop but can delegate this to another person!

Again that it is a sole parent that is bringing this up makes me suspicious of the narrative! You did not mention that you brought this up at a PTA meeting?

Please go back and exhaust all the avenues available for redress before rushing to put this out using a medium such as this! It seems to me you are on the war path of a personal vendetta with the Headmistress! If this is the case then you are pathetic!

As far as we do not have all the facts, do not rush to judge the writer too. After all she boldly added her contact and is not afraid to meet any body in court.To judge her on supposition is even worst. But then, why is it that, she must not bring this to the notice of the nation? It is a public school and for two years, if a headmistress really does this kind of 'terrorism' and has not been checked by the PTA or the Bishop as you suggest, do you find it necessary to go through such channels?
Let it become a debate. Let us not get lazy. Let us investigate it and people like Manasseh, Anas and any worthy journalist should make it a duty to find out. Lets don't turn this into something little. I think the regional director should scramble or else have himself to blame. If nothing untoward is discovered, the headmistress can proceed to court.

I don't believe the writer is under any social or legal obligation to exhaust all internal grievance resolving mechanisms before taken to this platform. The initiative to me is an excellent one and the writer should be praised highly for it. It calls for a thorough investigation into the matter to establish the authenticity or otherwise of the alleged conduct or deeds of the Head. She is in my opinion one of the good citizens of Ghana and a whistle blower and should be encouraged to keep same up. Cudos, Ms. Dakura.

This is nothing more than a sentimental piece of literature. Do you believe the headmistress can single handedly introduce the Gh¢8:00, GH¢135 without the explicit concern of the parents or the board members of the school. Do you actually ever head Parents Teachers Association? Your level of maturity is far below your level of education. Has these additional fees be included as the mandatory fees approved by GES. You should do your home work well before embarking on this agenda to tarnish the hard won reputation of someone. Or you can get your ward out of saint francis to a school PETA fees are not charged.

Sometimes i wonder whether we are true to ourselves.An allegation has been raised and an appeal has been made to the right channels viz Ghana Education Service and the goverment lets wait for their reaction why are we putting the cart before the horse.I want to believe that Madam Gladys would been tired of complaining.Are you aware that the headmistress of Jirapa Senior High a new school even used the school's money to be used in the DKM scum?So do not rush when you are going for a naming ceremony by asking of the child's name when you would be told after all.Madam Gladys does not owe anybody be it the Catholic Church ot the PTA any explanation that is why such wonderful platforms have been created to check abuse of power and corruption,this nothing about personal vendetta it is about accountability.Dont dare question the educational level of Madam Gladys when she knows better.It is weaklings like you would go about the method of seeing the Bishop and the PTA and what nots.Give us a break

This is the height of hypocracy, I think that we should rather encourage thus woman by investigating the matter than thinking that the writer has a personal issue with the headmistress. Can you think of heafmaster selling school property for perspnal use? ie the work of a headmaster. This sold the school standby generato to his broyhers who are scrap dealers. So that the extent to which some autocratic heads can go. Its only God who will save this country and the educational sector. The only we have in our boarding schools are thief's not heads, amd so are called thief masters and mistressis

I have two of my nieces in that school and i don't think what this idiot is talking about unapproved fees exist anywhere in our payment of the school fees.You really need to check your facts before putting out this kind of falsehood into the public domain. If you don't have, now just pray for yours and stop exposing your colossal ignorance on very sensitive issues that can bring riot in the school. And why didn't the writer put out the real name? I personally know who is behind this stupid story.He is one of own. If you have lost your job because of your own stupidity, think about how to get it back and stop inflaming parents' temper for the wrong cause. Sorry for the bad language though, i think am losing my temper on such prevalent falsehood in our society

i dont know wether the writer didnt attend boarding school. if not all that she said is useless. she should ask the other boarding schools wether they don't use exact books to town, wether they don't do sports or wether they don't use school cloth. in 2014/2015 academic year St francis girls represent th whole region for the national science n maths quiz. in their wassce results every year they perform creditable. why then is she saying academic is going down from 2012. if you know acacademic is declining why did you allowed your to attend that school if not a pure fallacy. it is a personal hatres so the public should forget about her. if she really has evidence she sshould prove to the public.

Indeed what beats my imagination and i guess it does to many good citizens who are reading this story is that, if this pen name write were responsible as she wants us to believe, then she could have raised these issues for discussions in our last PTA meeting rather than hiding behind the media to expose her colossal ignorance in this cooked story. I was in the meeting for my niece and during A.O.B, she could have brought many of these issues up for parents to investigate.

Again, i find it interestingly enough to realize that all my mails i sent to the purported email address provided by the writer, came back to me as failure delivery because the address is not known by yahoo. Moreover, i want to put it on records that, no student including my own niece is using an exeat card as she wants us to believe.

Furthermore, if this writer had done a better job rather than this armchair write up, she would have realized that it is not only in Assisi that students are faced with the issue of feeding but in the whole three northern sector where students were asked to stay at home for close to three weeks.

The writer's chronicle of lies are therefore based on porous premises since no iota of truth is found in her fabricated story.

I personally wish to suggest you- writer go and make amends with the headmistress if you have some personal issues with her and stop subjecting her reputation into disrepute.
Am equally a parent and would be more that happy if this write can prove beyond reasonable doubts many of her allegations. If not, I'm sorry to say she might be suffering from mental infirmity.

Am done!!!

@Baaladong, don't even mind her. If her government is struggling to feed students why is she trying to put the blame on some innocent people? My three sisters were home for three weeks because government is owing the food suppliers. This woman might be sick in her head and need some treatment quickly.

At an emergency Parent-Teacher Association (P T A) executives meeting held on the 15th July, 2016, we read with utter dismay an article published on the ‘Ghana web’ Article 453295 of Thursday, 7th July 2016, captioned above. The columnist, one Dakura, Gladys who claims to be a parent and for that matter a member of the School’s Parent Teacher Association (P T A) has leveled a number of allegations against the current headmistress of the School, Madam Rosemary Nyekpieng. She stressed the urgent need for the authorities concerned to conduct immediate investigation of the issues and the appropriate sanctions given to save the School from its present predicament as perceived by her.
The writer also indicated clearly that she wrote the article as a ‘concerned Parent’ – an individual, but contradicted it in her concluding sentence with:’ we wait for your action!’ which suggests that the entire Parent Teacher Association gave their consent to what she has written.
We wish to state clearly that on behalf of the P T A, we are not aware of any alleged charging of unapproved fees by the headmistress Madam Rosemary Nyekpieng as claimed by Dakura Gladys. We therefore wish to disassociate P T A entirely from the issues raised by the writer in her article. The allegation leveled against the headmistress are in, our opinion, totally misguided and are a malicious attempt to drag her name as well as the name of the school in the mud.
We feared that the writer might even be a ghost since all attempts to contact her through her e-mail or postal address have proved futile.
