Mr Gabriel Kploanyi, Volta Regional Director of Ghana Education Service (GES), has urged students to eschew indiscipline and laziness in order to become successful in future. He said: "Discipline and hard work ensure good performance in exams and success in life and without these. Volta Region will lose its place as the hub of quality human resource development." Mr Kploanyi was speaking at the 48th Honours Day celebrations of Awudome Senior High School at Tsito in the Ho Municipality, on the theme: "Education, the Source of Accelerated Development in Ghana; a Challenge to All." He therefore advised students to shun bad company and concentrate on their studies. The Regional Director warned "recalcitrant students to turn over a new leave as the GES is willing to collaborate with the heads of institutions to flush out such characters from the educational system". Mr Cyprian Kwasivi Otti, Headmaster, said the school which began in 1963 as the brainchild of the Tsito Native Teachers Association with eight students now has 1,800 students and 90 teachers. He noted that since only eight teachers lived on campus, supervision of students' had become difficult and therefore pleaded with the government to provide staff accommodation for the school. Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, Member of Parliament for Ho West said the completion of a six-unit classroom- block for the school in record time was indicative of government's commitment to improve the country's educational infrastructure. He hinted that the Ghana Education Trust Fund was to take over the construction of a boys' dormitory initiated by the Parent-Teacher Association and build a computer science laboratory and two teachers' bungalows which would be completed next year. Mr Bedzrah entreated the staff and students to work hard to achieve a 100 per cent pass in the upcoming West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations. Mr Wilberforce Nuku Addae, Board Chairman of the school implored the staff and students to help maintain the "Grade A" status of the school. The side attraction to the event was a display by the school's cadet corps, cultural troupe and choir under the chairmanship of Mr Fred Dzako Buatsi, Development Consultant and Board Chairman of Tsito Secondary Technical School.
