Mampong(Ash) April 17----St Monica's Junior High School(JHS) at Asante Kampong is to get GHS 600,000 Ultra-Modern Education Resource Centre to be built by the school Parent-Teacher Association(PTA)in collaboration with the Asante Mampong Anglican Diocese and other state holders of the school.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony on last Thursday,Rt Rev Dr. Cyril Kobina-Smith, Anglican Bishop of Asante Mampong Diocese praised the school PTA for taken bold initiative to mobilize the needed resources for the project.

He said the church will bring on board its members, former students of the school, the St Monica's family in and outside the country as well as Asante Mampong citizens to assist the project.

He said the church and the state are partners in education delivery and the country's development but stated that the church will not allow itself to be intimidated in their responsibilities to mission schools.

Ms Augusta Achiaa Sarpong, Mampong Municipal Education director advised parents to pay periodic visits to school to interact with teachers for them to know the academic performance and behaviour of their wards.

She said investment in children's education is to prepare them for the world of works and future leadership adding that parents must have time to monitor such investment.

Ms Cynthia Ama Nyantakyi, the headmistress of the school said the three storey building which is to be built in phases is to have a library, science laboratory, an auditorium, ICT centre and Technical & Home science centre.
