MAWULI SCHOOL, OLD STUDENTS SIGN MOU (PAGE 11, JAN 7, 2011)

THE new Headmaster of Mawuli Senior High School, Mr J. M. K. Osei-Nyansa, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the President of the North American branch of the Old Mawuli Students Union (OMSU), Professor Evans Afenya, to raise the sinking image of the school.
The ceremony took place at Virginia in the United States of America where Mr Osei-Nyansa spent two weeks at the invitation of the branch.
Speaking on his vision for the school to the Daily Graphic in Ho, the headmaster said the MOU had compelled him to put his vision into action to revamp the school.
He said the MOU was at the instance of the North American branch of the OMSU, who expressed regret at the sinking image of the school. According to the branch, the school had been noted for producing medical doctors and pharmacists but of late, the trend had ceased.
They therefore promised to place all their resources at his disposal to assist him to turn the tide round.
Mr Osei-Nyansa said his vision was to try to bring together all the stakeholders to assist in motivating the teachers to put in their best to raise the standards of the students. Though not an OMSU, the headmaster has decided to leave his name in “the sand of time”.
As a first step, he promised to put the school back into the Science and Math Quiz competition which they fell out in 2004.
He said after eight months of his stay in the school, through the co-operation of the teachers and other staff, he had been able to organise the 60th anniversary which started in a grand style.
He was grateful for the support of the local branches of OMSU which had brought a positive change and catalogued some of these as the who purchase of 300 mono-desks by the 1990 group and the acquisition of three computers and the painting of the Biology laboratory by the 1991 group. Others were the procurement of 80 chairs by the 1997 year group and the renovation of a bungalow and donation of six dustbins by the 1975 year group.
Speaking about challenges which he felt when removed would put the school on track to attain his vision, he mentioned accommodation for staff and the size of the dinning hall. He said with the school population now standing at 1,980, only 25 tutors were resident on the campus and that was inadequate for proper supervision.
On the dinning hall, he said students now had to eat in three shifts since they out- number the size of the hall. He prayed that the vast land of the school should be developed to provide more accommodation for the staff.
