'92 YR GROUP SUPPORTS BEKWAI SHS

-



The 1992 Year Group of the Bekwai Adventist Senior High School at Bekwai in the Ashanti region has presented 100 bags of cement to the school after one of the school’s dormitories got burnt a month ago.  

 The wildfire destroyed the Nana Ameyaw boys’ dormitory Block ‘B’ forcing the relocation of all the 54 resident students. They are currently housed in classrooms pending the construction of a permanent dormitory block. 

The fire also destroyed some of the personal effects and learning materials of the students. Making the presentation on behalf of the Group, Felix Asrachie Baidoo, who is also a Correspondent of the Daily Graphic in the Ashanti region, urged authorities of the school to monitor the handling and usage of mobile phones by the students, since apart from wasting their time it could also lead to indulging in social vices.

 He appealed to the school authorities to ensure that the cement was put to good use to merit the purpose for which they were brought to the school. 

Mr. Baidoo also cautioned the students against the negative effects of social media which if not properly managed, could derail their academic fortunes and render them redundant in future. 

They should rather channel their energies in reading their books to enable them pass their courses of study. 

Baidoo on behalf of the group pledged to continue supporting the school when the need arose and urged the school’s authorities to put the cement to the purpose for which they have been donated. 

The Headmaster of the school, George Oduro-Yeboah, said around 8.40 p.m of January 27, this year, while the students were studying in their classrooms, a resident on campus raised the alarm about the fire. 

Mr. Oduro-Yeboah thanked the old students for their support to the school in this critical time and assured that the cement will be used for the intended use.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
