The Reverend Joseph Henry Ofosuhene, Kwabre District Director of Education, has called on the Electorate to learn all the electoral processes and procedures to ensure credible and peaceful election this year.
He said the country needed peace and progress and it, therefore, behoved all stakeholders to contribute meaningfully towards a successful elections.
Rev. Ofosuhene was speaking at a well-attended send off party for Nana Yeboah Mensah, Kodie Schools Circuit Supervisor in the Afigya-Kwabre District after 40 years of active service with the Ghana Education Service (GES).
He commended the supervisor who is also the Krontihene of Adwumakaase-Kesse in the district for the good works rendered to the nation and the district in particular, noting that he was committed and dedicated to his duties as a teacher and Supervisor.
The District Director asked that although Nana Mensah had retired from active service, he should continue to render his rich experiences, skills and knowledge to help develop education in the district.
Rev. Ofosuhene urged the teachers who have joined the service to emulate Nana Mensah and work assiduously to assist the children to improve on their academic performance so that they could come out as useful citizens.
Nana Opoku Frefre III, Obuabasa and Gyasehene of the Asantehene and a teacher by profession, stressed the need for teachers to endeavour to take advantage of the government educational programmes to upgrade themselves in educational standards.
He said the work of a teacher never ended and therefore asked Nana Mensah not only to continue to assist in educational development, but also help in community development projects in his area.
Nana Mensah, in his farewell message, appealed to parents to collaborate with teachers to ensure proper and effective upbringing of their children.
He thanked the teachers for their support, cooperation and understanding that helped bring his work to an end.
He observed that there were lots of benefits in the teaching profession if teachers would wholeheartedly discharge their duties in helping the children to succeed.
