DCE urges youth to reject “mob mentality”

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima-Mponua, Mr Stephen Yeboah, has urged the youth to show sense of responsibility and to reject the “mob mentality”.

He condemned the situation where students vandalized school property and said such acts only tended to hamper academic work and progress.

Addressing the first speech and prize-giving day of the Mpasatia Senior High/Technical School at Mpasatia, said anything likely to spike unrest must be avoided.

It must never be lost on them, why they were in the school and their priority should be on working hard to achieve their ambitions.

Mr Yeboah expressed the government’s determination to do everything to provide the needed infrastructure and facilities to improve the quality of education and make the products of the educational institutions competitive.

The massive infrastructure development in senior high schools and deliberate effort to strengthen the teaching and learning of information communication technology (ICT) through the distribution of computers were meant to achieve just that.

He counseled the right use of the computers – to aid research, adding that these were not for administrative work in the schools.

The Headmaster, Mr Baron Asamoah, described the academic performance of the school as impressive, scoring 100 per cent pass in the West African Secondary School Examination (WASSCE) for three years running.

The achievement had largely come through strict enforcement of discipline.

He said the school, established 22 years ago, urgently, needed an administrative block, staff accommodation, science laboratory and an assembly hall.
