Oguaa Senior High Celebrates 20th Anniversary
THE Oguaa Senior High/Technical School (OSTECH) has celebrated its 20th anniversary and Second Speech and Prize-Giving Day at Cape Coast, with a commitment to provide holistic education for the citizenry.
It was on the theme, “20 years of quality human resource development for nation building –The OSTECH experience”.
The headmistress, Mrs Anastasia T. Okyere, who made the pledge, said the school would therefore strive to be amongst the best in the country.
She explained that pragmatic policies initiated to promote discipline and higher academic standard in the school had transformed the fortunes of the school.
“As a result, OSTECH which is planted among highly competitive schools of old in the Metropolis, is resiliently emerging profoundly and profusely competitive”, she asserted.
The school authorities, she said, were doing everything possible to inculcate into the students, the right values and virtues required of them to fit into the society.
With the incidence of hunger among a section of the students, Mrs Okyere revealed that, the board of governors, parent-teacher association, teachers and the student body had introduced a feeding project to have it addressed.
Despite the numerous on-going infrastructural projects in the school, she appealed for a science laboratory, residential accommodation for staff and students, an assembly hall, a Home Economics block and an Art Studio.
The Deputy Minister of Education responsible for Pre-Tertiary Education, Mrs Elizabeth Amoah-Tetteh, in a speech read on her behalf, re-iterated government’s commitment to providing quality education for the citizenry.
The stance of the government, she noted, could be seen in its provision of the necessary inputs for quality teaching and learning, all over the country.
Mrs. Amoah-Tetteh urged the students to shun negative practices such as occultism, drug abuse and vandalism, which could hamper their progress in school, and later in life.
She also asked them to study hard and be abreast of the current global technological change and advancement.
The Central Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwa-Doe, in a speech reach on her behalf, urged Ghanaians to adopt positive attitudes which would contribute to the transformation of the country.
The school, established in 1991 with 30 students, now has a total student population of 1,040, of whom 427 are females.
