I therefore wish to urge both the school authorities and the students to strive for higher achievements to raise the standard of the School to the very best in this Municipality”.

Speaking on the theme “Unveiling the hidden potential of the child through quality education, the role of stakeholders”, the honorable MCE point out that, quality education provides the foundation for equity in the society and that was why the government had ensured that quality education was available freely to all citizens, by the bold and rigorous implementation of free SHS Policy.

She was quick to admit that, though there are few challenges facing the implementation of the policy, the government is seriously addressing them.
