The Vice-Chancellor of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has emphasized the need for intentionality in the training of students by education stakeholders.
Speaking at the inaugural graduation of Andylyn School in Ejisu Krapa, Prof. Mrs. Rita Akosua Dickson believes it's crucial in cultivating transformative leaders.
“The challenge we face as teachers, school directors, and parents is that we are entrusted with a significant responsibility. We will have to account for the future.
"The tomorrow we want depends on what we do today. We must excel in training and developing students, equipping them with essential skills. We are teaching them to love learning, which will benefit them throughout their lives,” she said.
The graduation event featured poetry recitals, language presentations, drama, and choreography.

Mrs. Evelyn Boateng, CEO of Andylyn School, expressed satisfaction with the steady progress in student and infrastructural development at the school.
She thanked the parents and staff for their numerous sacrifices and revealed plans to enhance moral and technological education.
“Together with Edify Ghana, an international NGO dedicated to improving and expanding Christ-centered education, we have developed a structured plan to enhance the moral development of our learners. Starting in September this year, we plan to implement a hybrid curriculum that integrates traditional and digital learning resources to better prepare our students for modern educational challenges and opportunities. This will include more practical, hands-on learning,” she said.

Daniel Pambo, Chair of the Parents Association, called for continued support for the school from the association.

David Abeseabe, Chairman of the Ejisu Municipal branch of the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS), noted the negative impact of students frequently moving between private schools due to unpaid tuition fees.
“The child starts at school A, moves to another school by class 2, and by the time they reach primary six, they may have attended five or more schools. This instability is often caused by parents refusing to pay school fees. What parents don't realize is that this affects the child's development,” he said.
Graduating students were awarded certificates, and those excelling in academics and extracurricular activities received special recognition.
