Students go to the aid of school

Apam (Central Region), 8th June 99 -

The 'concerned students association (CONSA)' of the Apam Secondary School who have provided the school with an iron gate estimated at two million cedis.

Commissioning it, the Gomoa District Chief Executive, Mr Kow Anyanful, exhorted students not to see the government's policy on cost sharing as an attempt to deprive Ghanaians the chance to have tertiary education but rather as a means to expand facilities for the tertiary institutions to increase their student intake.

Mrs. Esther Hamilton, headmistress of the school, commended the effort of the students and said their action has negated the popular believe that students are only interested in hooliganism and destruction.

She appealed to members of the association to educate their fellow students against anti-social habits such as drug addiction and pre-marital sex, saying such programmes would go down well when they are initiated by students themselves.

Prince Joshua Agyiri, founder and president of the association, said the aim of the association is to inculcate the spirit of patriotism in its members.
