SCHOOL BOARD INSTITUTES SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION FOR STUDENTS

SCHOOL BOARD INSTITUTES SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION FOR STUDENTS

Nsuta (Ash) The Board of Governors of the Nsutaman Catholic Senior High School has instituted a scholarship foundation scheme for the needy but brilliant students in the school.

Mrs. Felicia Acheampong, Headmistress of Nsutaman Catholic Senior High School, who disclosed this to the media on Tuesday at Nsuta in the Ashanti Region commended the members of the board particularly  Dr. K.K. Sarpong, Chairman of the Board for the initiative.

Mrs. Acheampong, explained that the scheme was instituted to offer scholarship to cover all the government approved fee for Day Students and it was a three year duration scholarship but depended on the academic performance of beneficiary.

She said that the scheme aimed to encourage young ones in the area to have quality secondary education and also to motivate them to attend the school.

She stated that with the help of the Board Chairman the foundation had been able to mobilise GHC 125, 000.00 within a year and added that 55 students had already benefited from  the scholarship scheme.

Mrs. Acheampong explained that out of the 55 beneficiaries, 35 were form one students while the remaining were form two and form three students.

She said that 50 of the beneficiaries were from the Sekyere Central District where the school is located.

She advised the beneficiary students to take their studies serious so as to continue enjoying the scholarship.    

Media in the Ashanti Region Need Orientation on Educational Reportage

Mr. Williams Boakye-Baafi, Coordinator for Kumasi Provincial Association of Catholic Teachers (ACT) has stated that was time for the authorities of Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education to hold orientation for media personnel in the Ashanti Region on the best way for them to report on educational issues in the region.

He made the statement in an interview with the media in Kumasi on Tuesday. He was not happy about the way and manner some media personnel in the region report educational issues.

He observed that some media houses in the region had started reporting on education without consulting the necessary authorities in Ghana Education Service and even allowed phone-ins which permitted some persons who knew little about educational management to insult heads and teachers in the region.

He noted that media personnel in the region used to call ministers of education to respond to some educational management issues which should had been answered perfectly by heads or district directors or their Public Relation Officers.

Mr. Boakye-Baafi, said it would be better for Ghana Education Service (GES), to organise periodic orientation on information management in the Service as it had been done by some services like Police Service, Fire Service, Ghana Health Service and Prison Service
