The Member of Parliament (MP) for Akatsi North, Mr Peter Nortsu-Kotoe, has advised parents and guardians to create security and a better future for themselves and their families by investing in the education of their children and wards.
Quality education, he stressed, did not depend solely on the output of teachers, but also on the support parents would give to their children in terms of providing books, stationery and other materials needed to enhance teaching and learning.
Inauguration
Mr Nortsu-Kotoe gave the advice at the inauguration of a new three classroom block for the New Ave Dzadzepe Evangelical Primary school, which was built with financial support from the USAID.
The inauguration coincided with a ceremony to cut the sod for the construction of another three-classroom block with a store, office, ICT centre and toilet facilities for the school, estimated at GH¢246,000 and being funded by the Akatsi North District Assembly.
The Akatsi North District Chief Executive, Mr James Gunu, said the creation of the district had really benefitted the people as a number of development projects had sprung up in the area.
Ashiagbor
He cited the construction of new school blocks at Kpove, Have, Zenu and Ashiagbor as examples, as well as other projects at the Ave-Dakpa Senior High School.
Mr Gunu advised parents and teachers of the school to eschew lateness and absenteeism, stressing that they should ensure the pupils studied very hard.
The District Director of Education, Alhaji Ahmed Imoro, called on parents to take the education of their children serioiuly.
He appealed for more school infrastructure in the area to accommodate more students and pupils.
