Mr Nii Armah Ashietey, Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle in the Greater Accra Region, has toured venues of extra classes for final year students of public Senior High Schools (SHS) in three circuits of the constituency.
The free-classes organized every year by the MP forms part of measures to improve the performance of SHS students in the constituency.
Mr Ashietey, who is also the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, said the students were the future leaders of Ghana and must be encouraged to learn hard in order to pass their exams.
He said the vacation classes had been helping the students to pass their exams, hence the decision to make it an annual affair.
Mr Ashietey said: “I am happy that the students have the enthusiasm to learn, I will organize a mock exams for them prior to their exams next year to prepare their minds.”
He advised the students to respect their parents, elders and teachers always, saying “respect and honesty are some of the things that could take a person to a higher level in life”.
Mr Ashietey also asked the students to look at people who had attained higher level in society to emulate them as role models.
Ms Esther Kissiwa Omare, a student and beneficiary of the programme, said the extra classes had helped them so much to learn, especially topics that their regular teachers could not cover in their respective schools.
She thanked Mr Ashietey for the gesture.
