Sunyani West DCE urges SHS students to expose bad peers

Chiraa (B/A), June 21, GNA - Mr Martin Obeng, the Sunyani West District Chief Executive, has advised Senior High School Students to be bold and report bad peers to school authorities for the necessary action to be taken against them.

He said by so doing the influence of recalcitrant students on unsuspecting newcomers, could reduce.

Mr Obeng said this when he addressed the staff and students of the Chiraa SHS, during a familiarization visit to the school.

He expressed discomfort with the surge in sexual promiscuity, drug abuse and alcoholism among Senior High School students and urged educational authorities to be firm in discipline.

Mr Obeng said teachers and educational heads played a critical role in the proper upbringing and development of students and they ought to ensure that students grow to become a national asset.

Mr Obeng said all was set for the implementation of the government's free SHSs programme in September and there is the need for teachers to support basic school students to pass their final examination to benefit from the programme.
