THE 40th anniversary celebration of the Krachi Senior High School (KRASEC), which comes off in November next year, has been launched at a ceremony in Kete Krachi in the Volta Region.
Nana Mprah Besemuna III, Paramount Chief of the Krachi Traditional Area, launched the anniversary programme which includes a home-coming activity, sporting activities, clean-up campaign and a procession through the principal streets of the town.
The Paramount Chief advised the students that discipline had been the hallmark of success and that their presence there was to be equipped with knowledge and skills necessary to make them live a responsible life in future.
“You must know that your being in this school is to make you a useful citizen for the future development of the country, hence the need to take your studies seriously”, Nana Besemuna said.
He said that the school could now boast as being one of the most endowed in the region, saying that even if it might not be the best, it could be among the best.
“The school now has computer facility and can boast of being hooked to the Internet. It, however, needs a new computer laboratory to accommodate the 50 computers and two printers it has at the moment,” he said.
He was happy with the level of discipline that had been introduced and assured the headmaster that they would stand by him to ensure that discipline was maintained to the highest standard.
The Paramount Chief called on the staff to rally behind the new headmaster to ensure that the school improved further.
Mr Musah Issahaku Yamba, the Headmaster of KRASEC commended the board and staff for allowing him the peace of mind to work to improve upon teaching and learning in the school he met.
“The attitude of teachers has changed for the better due to the democratic method of education that has been instituted, where teachers see themselves as part of the decision-making process with the determination to turn out well-behaved students, ” he said.
The determination, together with staff motivation had enhanced academic work and to ensure strict discipline in the school, the headmaster said he felt it necessary to introduce a police cadet corps fully equipped with a regimental band.
Mr Yamba said to incorporate the school into the society, the administration together with the board decided to name the dormitories after prominent persons in the Krachi community.
Thus, names of houses like House one, two, three and four had been substituted with Nana Mprah III, Nana Asetena, Nana Denteh and Nana Obridjow, respectively.
On agriculture, he said, the school cultivated six acres of maize but due to unfavourable weather conditions, they could not make any profitable yield. But 3,000 trees planted around the school were doing very well.
Mr Yamba said one of the major successes of the school was that they were connected to the Internet and expressed the school’s appreciation to Nana Mprah III.
He mentioned challenges facing the school which included both academic and non-academic accommodation such as girls’ dormitory, classrooms and dormitories for first year students, potable water and the need to complete infrastructure such as the assembly hall, gate and the computer laboratory.
