Ada: Mr Lawson Charles Kwabena Kekle, the President of the Students' Representative Council (SRC) of the Ada College of Education (ADACOE), has made a strong appeal for increased parental involvement in the educational journey of their children. He emphasized that students achieve better academically and socially when they receive financial, emotional, and moral support from their families.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr Kekle urged parents to actively engage in their children's education by providing necessities, monitoring academic progress, and encouraging focus on studies. 'I plead with parents to occasionally check up on their wards after bringing them to school. Doing so will boost their morale and motivate them to take their studies seriously,' he remarked in an interview.
Mr Kekle also addressed several challenges facing the college, citing issues such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient classroom blocks, water crisis, and poor road network leading to the school. He expressed a desire to meet with the President of Ghana to request assistance in relocating the college due to the proximity of the sea, which poses a risk to students.
He urged stakeholders in Ada to prioritize the welfare of ADACOE, highlighting its importance as the only teacher training institution in the Ada State. Additionally, he appealed to NGOs and well-meaning individuals for support in the school's ambition to become one of the best in West Africa.
Mr Kekle assured students that the SRC is committed to collaborating with school authorities to foster a conducive learning environment. However, he noted that the students' success also heavily relies on the support they receive from home.
