KASEC needs Science, Maths teachers (1/4/09)

THE Headmaster of the Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School (KASEC) in the Volta Region, Mr Musah Ayamba Issahaku, has expressed concern about the shortage of staff and inadequate logistics in the school.
He said the challenges posed a threat to the ability of the school to provide the students with quality education.
Speaking in Accra during the launch of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the school , Mr Issahaku said, the school needed additional teachers in Mathematics, English and Science and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The school also required Science laboratory assistants, a librarian, security men, office clerks, cooks and labourers.
He said the ban on employment had made it difficult to engage such workers.
The school has a problem of inadequate water supply, and frequent power outages in the night, which created a lot of disciplinary problems for the school.
He called on the old students union (KOSU) to help the school with a stand-by generator and a school bus.
The headmaster also called on the old students to help develop their alma mater to enhance quality education in the school.
He expressed the hope that the celebration of the anniversary, which would take off on October 3, 2009 on the theme: “Education, the key to development, the role of KASEC,” would help the school.
The Chairman of the school’s board of governors, who was also the special guest of honour, Mr Anthony Gyambiby, advised the old students to use the occasion to unite and support the school to advance the frontiers of knowledge and development.
“Make a commitment to contribute your quota towards the development of the school, ” he stated.
He pointed out that some challenges of the school, which included the Science Resource Centre which was ill equipped had adverse effects on teaching and learning in the school.
He said the library, which was small and could not accommodate the large number of students, was also not well-stocked with the requisite books and other modern learning materials.
Mr Gyambiby said the school needed a well equipped computer laboratory to prepare the students to become computer literate.
He said in order to solve the numerous problems facing the school there was the need to generate funds.
“We all need to demonstrate our preparedness to contribute our widow’s mite towards this noble agenda for the sustenance and development of the school,” he added.
He officially launched the 50th anniversary celebration of KASEC.
The acting President of the Kajebi Senior School Old Student’s Union, Mr George Nana Kankam, called on members of the union to do all they could to enhance the image of the school by contributing to the success of the anniversary celebrations.
He noted that a fund-raising dinner dance would be held on June 27, 2009 to raise funds for the development of the school.
