Dambai (O/R), Aug 13, GNA- Mr. Michael Nayo, the Chairman of the Parents-Teachers’ Association (PTA) off the Nkwanta Community Secondary Technical, has made a passionate plea to the authorities to show mercy and reconsider the suspension of Mr. Solomon Sarpong Bagmae, the headmaster of the Nkwanta Senior High School.
The headmaster was suspended for publicly appealing for food support for West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) candidates, who were at Nkwanta SHS due to recent unrest in the area without prior approval from the relevant authorities.
According to Mr. Michael Nayo, PTA chairman of Nkwanta Community Day Senior High School, all the three SHS schools’ chairmen collectively agreed to collect a fee of GH¢300 per candidate to provide meals.
However, food supplies were delivered and the fees collected were refunded.
The PTA chairman emphasised that the headmaster’s actions were motivated by a desire to support the candidates, rather than any personal gain.
Mr. Nayo urged the authorities to consider the circumstances surrounding the incident and to pardon the headmaster, who was seeking public support for feeding the candidates.
He said the reversal of the suspension would be a positive step towards resolving the issue and ensuring the well-being of the candidates.
