Accra, Dec. 31, GNA – Madam Gifty Mussey, Adentan Municipal Education Director, has urged all teachers and officers within the municipality to up their games despite the numerous successes chalked in recent years.
She said education had seen a significant leap in various aspects with the basic and Senior High School ranging from inter schools quiz competitions, WAEC results, cultural competitions, best teacher awards and to elevation of officers.
Madam Mussey said this during their maiden Thanksgiving, Dinner and Awards Night held at Victory Presbyterian Church to celebrate and encourage facilitators and officers across to do more.
She said the success achieved was because of the selfless contributions and foundation laid by their predecessors and the work the current staff and employees had been doing.
The Municipal Education Director said though they had held the fort strongly in competing with their peers on the district league table, their performance had dropped, a challenge they must address in the years ahead.
