The District Chief Executive of Talensi Thomas Duanab Wuni Pearson has admonished Basic School students in the Talensi District to take advantage of the government’s Free Senior High School policy (FSHS) so as to achieve higher heights in education.
According to Mr. Wuni, the President’s commitment towards education is unmatched which was why he implemented the policy to make sure every Ghanaian child of school-going age is able to access the second cycle in the various regions of the country.
The District Chief Executive who was speaking at this year’s Independence Day Celebration organised in the Tongo School Park of the Talensi District said, “I’ll like to use this opportunity to entreat you, especially, my dear students who will write BECE this year to try and make good grades to enable you to enjoy this opportunity and in endowed schools as well”.
Speaking on the performance of students in his District, he explained that, it is of great concern to his outfit because they have long been waiting to record a 50% pass mark even though the performance have been increasing in recent years.
He noted the below 50% pass mark is worrying and therefore, immediate actions need to be taken to salvage the situation.
He used the opportunity to call on stakeholders and partners in and around the region to work in unity so as to achieve more positive results.
