Abrem Agona Circuit organises leadership seminar for headteachers and assistant headteachers

The Abrem Agona Circuit, in collaboration with the CHOBS Circuit Leadership, has organised a leadership seminar for Headteachers and Assistant Headteachers to strengthen leadership capacity and improve school management practices.

The seminar, held on Tuesday, 10th November 2026, at the Methodist Church, Abrem Agona, was organised under the theme: "Ethical Leadership, Financial Transparency, People and Conflict Management for Improved Educational Institutions."

The programme brought together Heads, Assistant Heads, educational officers and other stakeholders to deliberate on effective leadership, financial accountability, staff management and conflict resolution in educational institutions.

The seminar featured two distinguished facilitators, Dr. Isaac Mepenedo, Deputy Director of Supervision, and Ms. Eva Nana Lawal, School Improvement Support Officer for Ntranoa. They took participants through practical presentations on ethical leadership, financial transparency, people management and conflict resolution.

Their presentations were enriched with practical exercises, interactive discussions and real-life school scenarios, equipping participants with strategies to address leadership and management challenges in their respective schools.

Addressing participants, the School Improvement Support Officer for Abrem Agona Circuit, Mr. Henry Amartey, emphasised that leadership was not about occupying a position but about service, responsibility and creating positive change.

He urged Heads and Assistant Heads to demonstrate integrity, transparency, fairness and accountability while building positive working relationships with their staff.

The Municipal CHOBS Chairman, Mr. Faith K. Bissi, encouraged school leaders to remain united, support one another and work collaboratively towards improving education in the Municipality.

The Municipal Director of Education for KEEA, Mr. Ebenezer Buertey, who attended the programme with members of the Municipal Education Management Team, described the seminar as timely and emphasised the need for continuous professional development, stating that, "We need training and re-training."

He encouraged participants to translate the knowledge and skills acquired into practical improvements in their schools.

Other speakers included the headteacher of EGASS, Mr. Emmanuel Otoo; the CHOBS Chairman for Agona Circuit, Henry F. Hinankwa-Foso; and Madam Mary-Magdalene Eshun, who outlined the purpose of the gathering.

The programme also featured a recap of key lessons, a vote of thanks and group photographs.

The seminar ended with a renewed call on school leaders to embrace ethical leadership, strengthen financial accountability, manage staff effectively and create positive school environments that promote effective teaching and learning.

The organisers expressed their appreciation to the KEEA Municipal Education Directorate, the facilitators, CHOBS leadership, participating Heads and Assistant Heads, and all stakeholders who contributed to the success of the programme.

Abrem Agona Circuit remains committed to building effective school leadership for improved educational outcomes.
