Dr Musheibu Alfa Mohammed, Deputy Upper West Regional Minister who was the guest of honour, congratulated the management and staff for always recording good results in the BECE.

He appealed to parents to take proper care of their children and endeavour to provide them with their basic needs to help enhance learning.
