The Parent/Teacher Association of the Saltpond Methodist Senior High School has appealed to President John Atta Mills to use his good offices to persuade contractors working on the school’s 2,000 capacity dormitory to speed up work. The project is being funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund). The project which was started by the previous administration in 2008 and was expected to be completed in two years is still under construction with the school hard hit by acute lack of accommodation. The call was made at a meeting of the PTA by its Board Chairman, Bishop Peter Kojo Sackey at Saltpond to discuss school infrastructural development and related matters. The PTA Chairman who doubles as Vice President of the United Nations Association Ghana could not tell what has caused the delay but blamed the stalemate on the change in Government that might have accounted for the long delay. According to him the project should have been completed on schedule given the rate at which the project was running in its early stage. According to the Board Chairman, the school has though benefited from other government projects but the dormitory remains a major facility which needs quick attention. The meeting coincided with the send-off ceremony for the outgoing headmaster, Rev. Paa Solomon Grant Esilfie under whose tenure the school has witnessed numerous infrastructural development. The school is reckoned to have performed outstandingly in both academic and extra curricula activities. The PTA paid him a glowing tribute to him for his visionary leadership that made Saltpond Methodist High School one of the finest SHS in the Mfantseman Municipality. He was presented with a car while some of his none-teaching staff received various prizes. Rev. Grant Esilfie thanked the PTA for the honour done him and urged them to give equal support for his successor. Rev. Grant Esilfie is to head the Methodist Education Unit in Accra.
