Authorities of the Prince of Peace Girls’
Senior High School in Kumasi have appealed to managers of the Computer Schools
Selection and Placement System, CSSPS to allocate the school with more students
at the next academic year.
This will help increase the student enrolment of the
school as well as provide opportunities for more Junior High School graduates
who will writing their BECE next month.
The Headmistress of the school,
Reverend Sister Veronica Adomako Manu, made the appeal in Kumasi when the Old
Students presented a number of cooking equipment worth nine thousand Ghana
Cedis to the Home Economics Department.
The items include one industrial oven,
two gas stoves, 10 gas cylinders and their accessories, double-door
refrigerator, four water closet accessories and eight gas burners.
Sister
Adomako Manu expressed regret that in the past two academic years, Prince of Peace
Girls’ SHS has not been treated fairly by the managers of the CSSPS such that
in spite of the school making available the vacancies it had for new students,
POPGISS, as the school is affectionately called, was allocated only 14 (in the
first instance) and 15 students in the current academic year.
The situation has
contributed significantly to the low student population which now stands at
156.
According to the Headmistress, the 33 year old Catholic SHS had informed of
the GES that it had space to accommodate about 200 new students in each of the
cases only to be allotted those negligible numbers of fresh students.
Reverend Sis. Adomako Manu appealed to the CSSPS to place more students in the school for the next academic year to help increase the student population.
In
receiving the gifts from the Old Students, Reverend Sister Adomako thanked the
past students very much for generosity which, according to her, has come at the
opportune time when the first batch of the Economics Students are preparing to
write their West African Secondary Schools Certificate Examinations(WASSCE) and needed
the equipment badly.
Until the gesture, she said, the students have had to
procure their own practical materials such as gas cylinders and burners which
are very expensive.
The Headmistress mentioned the school’s Library and Science
Laboratory as those facilities that need urgent assistance to function effectively.
The Administrator of the Old Students Association, Mrs. Gifty Afriyie Ghansah,
explained that the funds for the donation were generated from the selfless
contribution of the members both home and abroad.
She assured that the gesture
will not be the last from the Association and that it is organizing itself to
provide more support to the school in future, to promoter quality teaching and
learning there.
NOW
