"Assist NAGRAT members to make up for lost time"

Ajunako-Mando (C/R), Dec. 24, GNA - Mr Edmund Donkor, Headmaster of Ajunako Mando Secondary School, has called for collaborative efforts of all stakeholders in the educational sector to assist members of National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) to make up for the time students lost during the recent strike action by members of the Association.

Addressing members of the school's Parent/Teacher Association at Ajumako-Manmdo, Mr Donkor said remedial measures were required to avert the adverse effects the NAGRAT industrial action would have on the students' performance in their impending West African School Certificate Examinations (WASCE).

He commended the students on their outstanding performance in the recently released results of the WASCE and advised the up-coming candidates to maintain the image their colleagues had carved for the school.

Mr Donkor attributed the success chalked up by the students to the high sense of commitment and hard work of teachers and expressed the hope that they would maintain the spirit to produce better results for the school in subsequent years.

Mr Kofi Assan, Assemblyman for the area and Financial Secretary of the PTA enumerated challenges facing the school's development and appealed to the GETFund and non-governmental organisations to assist the school to undertake a number of development projects. Mr Assan advised parents to invest in their children's education instead of incurring huge expenditures on funerals and cautioned students against indiscipline but rather to cultivate the right type of attitudes that would cushion them for a good future.
