Kumasi -Lady Julia Osei Tutu II, wife of the
Asantehene has expressed her unhappiness about the high spate of indecent
dressing which is gaining massive root among school girls, rather, they should
focus on their academic work.
Lady Julia gave the advice when she embarked on a day
familiarization tour to St. Louis Senior High School in Kumasi.
She observed that school girls of these days have
failed to dress decently even while in school and indicated that some girls
could even go to the extent of cutting down school uniforms which had been
given to them by school authorities.
She advised the students to take their studies serious
instead of engaging in indecent dressing which would not yield them any positive
results in future.
She advised school girls to dress decently so not to
expose essential parts of their body which could lead them into trouble and
also urged them to learn to up hold the cultural heritage of their areas.
Lady Julia
expressed her worry on the high rate of teenage pregnancy among school girls in
the region and appealed to parents as well as school authorities to intensify education
on the effects of teenage pregnancy on the family, community and the country at
large.
She commended both school authorities and students for
maintaining high level of discipline in the school which has been the trademark
of every Catholic institution in the country.
Lady Julia commended the Catholic Church for its key
role as far education in the region is concerned.
Mrs. Theresah Addei Commey, headmistress of the
school her part expressed her gratitude to lady Julia and her team for the
visit and appealed to them to assist the school to have toilet facility for the
