University don calls improvement in education facilities

Kpando, March 22, GNA - Prof John B. K. Aheto, the Dean of School of Business Management, Central University, has called for efforts from major stakeholders to improve education infrastructure to increase access to education. Prof Aheto said this at the Silver Jubilee Anniversary of Delta Preparatory School at Kpando.

He said a well-educated person was an asset for transformation of society and country at large through new inventions and discoveries. Prof Aheto said recognizing the nobility of a teacher should be a mo= del of self- actualization, discipline, self-character, which were important for intellectual brilliance. Mr. Francis Komla Ganyaglo, Kpando District Chief Executive, said Education was more relevant at a time when the moral degeneration of the youth was on the ascendancy.

He said academic excellence alone could not guarantee success in life without good moral upbringing and urged teachers to inculcate in children the moral values. Mr Ganyaglo called on the private sector to partner with government towards achieving its agenda of investing in people for socio-economic development. Mr. Ambrose Gasika Kofi Dzefi, Proprietor of Delta Preparatory School, paid tributes

to the founding members including the late Mrs. Charlotte Elorm Dzefi. He recounted traumatic incidents that led to the school being vandalized and burnt down resulting in a protracted legal battle. Mr Dzefi said the School chalked many academic successes despite its= initial problems.

Ms Akua Sena Dansua, the Minister of Youth and Sports for the area w= ho unveiled the bust in honour of the Founder, called on parents to invest in the educati= on of their

children for a guaranteed future. An appeal for fund in aid of library complex yielded over GH¢3,000=
