Juaben Senior High School celebrates 40 years

Juaben (Ash), Oct. 23, GNA – Juaben Senior High School (SHS) in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality in the Ashanti Region, has celebrated its 40th milestone, with a call on all stakeholders in the educational sector, to ensure discipline in schools and society.   Dr Samuel Bannerman Mensah, a former Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), said discipline was very vital in every successful human endeavour.   He, therefore, entreated all stakeholders in the country’s educational system to uphold the important virtue.   “Discipline on the part of school authorities, teaching and non-teaching staff, students, parents and guardians as well as the community, go together, to make an institution great and famous,” he stated.   Dr Bannerman Mensah stressed that in an election year like this, discipline on the part of all Ghanaians would facilitate a peaceful and successful general election; and at the end of it all, Ghana would become great and famous not only in African politics, but the world at large.   He advised students and the youth of the country to be very vigilant and not to allow themselves to be used to foment any form of trouble in any part of the country.   Very Rev Isaac Osei Boadi, Headmaster of the School in his report, said the school had improved upon its academic performance over the past five years.   He explained that the school had maintained a 100 per cent record passes in the WASSCE and attributed the success to the untiring efforts of his teachers to prepare the students well for the examination.   Very Rev Osei Boadi said though the school admitted students with generally low grades, by dint of hard work on the part of the teachers and the students themselves, they were able to make it at the final exams.   The Headmaster, however, enumerated lack of assembly hall, sick bay, classrooms, duty vehicles, fence wall, as some of the challenges facing the school and appealed to the government and other stakeholders for support.   Prizes were later awarded to dedicated staff and students who excelled in their various fields of endeavour in the school.   The ceremony was chaired by Daasebre Nana Otuo Siriboe II, Omanhene of the Asante Juaben Traditional Area.     GNA...
