Agnes Amoah, Headmistress of Twifo Hemang Senior High Technical School (SHTS), says the school desperately needs an administrative vehicle to function properly. The Central Region school, which was established by the Twifo Hemang Traditional Council in 2005, is struggling to transport examination materials and participate in official programmes.
School Management Struggles Without a Vehicle
Mrs Amoah made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Twifo Hemang in the Twifo Hemang-Lower Denkyira District. The school currently hires vehicles at a cost to transport examination materials to and from the District Education Directorate, a situation that affects its ability to participate in official programmes and ceremonies. The school also faces challenges in transporting staff and students for various activities.
The absence of an official vehicle has become a major challenge for the school, and management is worried about the impact on the school's operations. The school's Headmistress said any activity that requires the use of a vehicle places the school in a difficult situation and needs urgent attention. She noted that the school is facing shortages of furniture and beds, which affect both academic and residential facilities.
Government Support for the School
Despite the challenges, Mrs Amoah expressed gratitude to the Government for awarding a contract for the construction of a boys' dormitory to improve accommodation infrastructure in the school. The school was established with an initial enrolment of eight students and was subsequently absorbed by the Government. The school's history and growth are a testament to the efforts of the Twifo Hemang Traditional Council and the Government.
The school's growth and development are essential for the education of the youth in the Twifo Hemang-Lower Denkyira District. The Government's support for the school's infrastructure development is a positive step towards improving the school's facilities and services. However, the school still needs an administrative vehicle to facilitate its operations.
A Call for Support
The Headmistress's appeal for an administrative vehicle is a call to action for the Government and other stakeholders to provide support to the school. The school's management is struggling to meet the demands of running the institution without the necessary resources. The absence of an official vehicle is a major challenge that affects the school's ability to function properly.
The school's plight is a reminder of the challenges faced by many schools in Ghana. The Government's support for the school's infrastructure development is a positive step towards improving the education sector. However, more needs to be done to address the challenges faced by schools in Ghana, including the provision of administrative vehicles to facilitate their operations.
The school's Headmistress is urging the Government and other stakeholders to provide the school with an administrative vehicle to facilitate its operations. The school's management is struggling to meet the demands of running the institution without the necessary resources. The provision of an administrative vehicle will go a long way in improving the school's operations and services.
