Ten Junior High Schools (JHS) in the Agona West Municipality and Agona East District of the Central Region had none of their students obtaining between aggregate six and 36 to gain admission into Senior High Schools.
Mr Jacob Felix Obeng-Forson, Agona West Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) said the schools however scored zero per cent during the 2010 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The schools are Agona Duotu District Assembly (D/A) JHS, Mankrong D/A JHS, Akokuasa D/A JSS, Keyanko D/A JHS, Amanful Salvation Army D/A JHS and Fante Bawjiase D/A JHS.
The rest are Agona Nyakrom Anglican D/A JHS, Nyakrom SDA JHS, Swedru Wawaase D/A and Otsenkorang D/A JHS.
Mr Obeng-Forson made this known to reporters during his tour of some primary and junior secondary schools during "My First Day at School" in the municipality on Wednesday.
He expressed regret about the poor performance of children in the two districts in the BECE and charged the Agona West Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to explore avenues to reverse the situation.
Mr Obeng-Forson assured the GES that the assembly would put in strategies that would assist the directorate to monitor the affected schools and offer help where necessary.
The MCE urged teachers in the municipality to change their attitude adding that teachers must show commitment, love and passion to enable them to serve as role models to the children.
Mrs Ernestina Nkansah, Deputy Director of Education in Charge of Agona West Municipality, said the 2010 BECE results had been a big disgrace to the two districts.
She said the directors of the two districts would quickly move to the affected schools and meet their Parent Teacher Associations on how best the results could be improved in the next examination.
Mrs Nkansah also attributed the poor results of some of the schools to lack of supervision and cautioned absentee teachers to change their attitudes for the better to avoid being punished.
Mr Obeng-Forson and Mrs Nkansah visited Upper Bobikuma AME Zion Primary/JHS, Abodom Presbyterian Primary School and Lower Bobikuma Seventh Day Adventist School to welcome 56 new children to the schools.
Fruit juice, biscuits and plastic drinking cups were distributed to the children.
