Nkoranza teachers cautioned against writing anonymous letters

Nkoranza, (B/A) July 10, (Credit Adu Simon) GNA- Mr Jarvis R. Agyeman-Badu, the Nkoranza District Director of Education has appealed to teachers in the area to desist from anonymous letter writing as people of Nkoranza District have been noted for the practice nation wide and this had also had a negative effect on the development of the district.

Mr Agyeman-Badu was addressing the staff of the Nkoranza Secondary Technical School at Nkoranza on Monday as part of his working visit to the school.

He expressed regret about how as a result of anonymous letter writing by some citizens of Nkoranza, a number of promising heads of department had refused postings to the area, as they feared the people would attack them.

He emphasized that, time was far advanced for the people to change from such negative practices and forge ahead in unity with all people in authority in the area to enhance the development of the district.

Mr Agyeman-Badu stressed the need for both the teaching and non-teaching staff of the school to establish good working relationships among themselves to move education forward in the school.

Mr Agyeman-Badu urged the staff to strengthen the Students Representative Council (SRC) to ensure cordial relationship among the staff and students and to check indiscipline.

He urged the staff to establish a welfare fund to cater for their needs and address problems facing them.

The Headmaster, Mr Joseph Kwaku Adjei mentioned some of the challenges facing the school as irregular payment of school fees by parents.

Mr Adjei said there was the need for parents in the district to be redirected about their responsibilities as most of them wasted money on frivolous things such as funerals, clothing and other social pleasures at the expense of their wards' education. He said the lack of accommodation facilities for the staff was another challenge facing the school and called on the P.T.A. to help address the problem.
