The Keta Senior High Technical School in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region continues to enjoy its fruits of labour following a spectacular performance at the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) competition.
In a bid to push the school to achieve improved academic excellence, an old student and In Charge of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability of the Prestea Sankofa Gold Limited, Josephine Ohene-Boateng, has launched the 'Josephine and Jesus Award Fund' to cushion brilliant but needy students.
Keta Senior High Technical School shot to fame following its excellent performance at the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz competition, emerging as the second runner up.
The performance of the contestants wowed many since they were not identified as favorites at the start of the competition.
Madam Ohene-Boateng, is hoping this legacy lives on, where the school would witness improved academic achievements, hence the introduction of the award scheme.
She explained that 3 students from each form would be selected by a committe which will be set up by the school for the awards, "in effect 9 studengs will receive packages to support their education every academic year".
This she believes would help lessen or outwit the challenges the beneficiary students would face during their second cycle academic journey.
Madam Ohene-Boateng who hopes the scheme would be expanded to cater for more students in the near future, advised the students to to take their academic activities seriously and desist from procrastination.
The Headmaster of the Keta Senior High Technical School, Isaac Dzidzienyo appreciated the efforts of Madam Ohene-Boateng to contribute improve the standard of education in the area.
He expressed optimism the award scheme would contribute "unearth talents" in the school.
The Keta Municipal Chief Executive, Emmanuel Gemegah, urged the students to study hard to merit the awards, and illustrated how award schemes had helped shape the lives of deserving students.
He also announced plans by some KETASCO old students to construct a well-furnished ICT block for the school, to enhance study of the course, since it has become a requirement in the job market.
