The Volta Regional Director of Education, Mr. Francis Yao
Agbemadi, has cautioned young people to stop abusing substances but learn
diligently towards a bright future.
“Once you get addicted and drift off-course, there is no guarantee
you will easily get back on track,” he said.
Mr. Agbemadi was speaking at this year’s Speech and Prize-Giving
Day of Tanyigbe Senior High School (SHS) in the Ho Municipality.
The event was on the theme: Discipline – The Key To
Achieving Academic Excellence.
The Regional Director of Education touched on the theme and
said, “it spoke directly to what made education transformation and sustainable.”
“In an era marked by rising instances of substance abuse,
violent conduct and other forms of deviant behaviour among the youth, no theme
could be more suitable,” ne noted.
Mr. Agbemadi said Tanyigbe SHS stood as a living testament
to the transformation power of discipline, adding that from its humble
beginning in 1991, the school had grown through perseverance, visionary
leadership and the unwavering commitment of its staff and students.
He said, among the school’s alumni were many distinguished men
and women serving in various sectors of the Ghanaian economy and that was ample
proof of what discipline produced.
The headmaster, Mr. Etse Godstime Seake-Kwawu, said the school
now had an enrolment of 666 students.
He said Tanyigbe SHS had no reliable source of water, and so,
the students fetched water from a stream in the community.
Meanwhile, the headmaster said the absence of a perimeter
fence around the school allowed miscreants and stray animals to gain easy
access to the compound, which had only two watchmen.
He also appealed to the government to take steps to complete
the dining hall, administration block, residential facilities house parents,
and the 12-unit classroom block on the campus for the smooth and effective
running of the school.
An indigence of Tanyigbe, Professor Dennis Yao Dzansi, said
social changes to parenting gaps had diluted traditional structures of
discipline.
Addressing them, he said it required a multi-stakeholder
approach where parents, teachers, communities, and policymakers worked together
to instill discipline in a nurturing yet firm manner.
