The Bisease Senior High School (SHS) presented 532 candidates for the May-June exams out of which 150 passed in all the eight core subjects and scored 99 per cent in English, Mr Mark H. Mensah, Headmaster of the School, has said.
Speaking at a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) general meeting at Bisease on Tuesday, Mr Mensah assured parents that their contribution to the progress and the upliftment of the school was bearing fruitful results.
The Headmaster expressed appreciation to the PTA for their numerous contributions to the school, especially the ongoing administration block, but said the lack of classroom infrastructure would not permit the school to
enroll new students next academic year.
Mr John J. Amoah, Chairman of the PTA, assured the Headmaster that works on the first phase of the administration block would be ready by September this year, to pave the way for the school's administrative staff to move into it.
He called on parents to honour their obligation by paying their fees and other contributions on time to support the PTA projects.
The Assistant Headmistress in charge of Administration, Madam Joyce Aidoo, charged parents to desist from providing their wards with mobile phones, adding that the use of mobile phones by students was hampering smooth administration, teaching and learning, as well as encouraging indiscipline.
She observed that the students received phone calls during classes and left unceremoniously, adding that at times they travelled outside the school for days without permission.
A parent, Mr Bosco Mensah, who is also a retired educationist, commended the staff for the success chalked so far and urged them to keep it
up.
Mr Amos Amo-Ampong, Science, Technology and Mathematics Education (STME) Co-ordinator of the District Education Office at Ajumako, who
deputised for the District Director of Education, Mr Isaac Amonoo, expressed concern about the movement of students in town during school hours and called for measures to halt the trend.
He commended the PTA for their numerous contributions, especially the ongoing administration block project, and urged them to keep up the good work.
During an election, all the PTA executives were retained for another three-year term in office.
