Nzemaline (W/R), Feb. 15, GNA – Mr. Benjamin Kessie, the Tarkwa-Nusaem Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has asked head teachers to manage the Valentine’s Day celebration in a way that would help pupils to learn something of value from it.
The celebration on February 14 coincides with Ghana’s chocolate day instituted to promote the consumption of made-in-Ghana chocolate and cocoa based products.
Mr. Kessie made the call when he joined the pupils and teachers of Gaddiel Acquaah Methodist Basic School at Nzemaline to celebrate the day and distributed chocolates to them.
He said, “Valentine’s Day is a day to show love to the less privileged in society, but the youth have made it a day for lovers to have fun and end up engaging in unimaginable things”.
The MCE indicated that education was one of the topmost priorities of the government and that was why it had put more resources into education.
Mr. Kessie counseled school children to concentrate more on their studies, avoid bad friends and desist from immoral acts that would destroy their future.
Mrs. Evelyn Imbzah Baiden, the head teacher of the Gaddiel Acquaah Methodist Basic School, pledged that they would continue to give it their all to raise the academic performance of the school.
