PRESS RELEASE
(6/08/2018)
PCD LAUDS PRESTEA HUNI-VALLEY MP, HON. BARBARA OTENG-GYASI & MCE MOZART

K. OWUH OVER FIVE-WEEKS FREE VACATION CLASSES FOR SHS STUDENTS IN THE

MUNICIPALITY.
The leadership of Prestea Communicators for Development PCD, a

registered civil society group in Prestea wish to commend the MP for

Prestea Huni-Valley, Hon. Lawyer Mrs. Barbara Oteng-Gyasi and the MCE,

Hon. Mozart K. Owuh over for organising FREE five week vacation

classes for Pre SHS and SHS students in the Prestea Huni-Valley municipality of the Western Region .

The classes, which according to a letter cited by PCD, indicates:

DURATION : FIVE WEEKS ( MON. 6TH AUGUST, - 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2018.

CENTERS : Prestea SHTS, St. Augustine’s SHS, Bogoso and Huni-Valley SHS.

COST : FREE ( PAID FOR BY MP/MCE)
STUDENTS : Pre-SHS & SHS students.
Speaking to the Coordinator of the Program, Mr. Samuel Blay, he told

PCD that “this is the third consecutive one organized by the MP,

specifically, in 2016, 2017 and 2018, in the Huni-Valley SHS & St.

Augustine SHS, Bogoso. He stated, earlier attempt to include Prestea

SHS failed but this time around, they have also come on board”.

Mr. Blay stated that “education is very crucial to the MP & MCE and

they are committed to help the students in Prestea Huni-Valley

Municipality”, he added.
Prestea Communicators for Development PCD, sees these efforts by the

Hon. Mrs. Barbara Oteng-Gyasi as very significant contribution to the

development of the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality, because,

“education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the

world” according to Nelson Mandella, South Africa’s first black

President.
Prestea Communicators for Development PCD further supports all

attempts by the current government to provide FREE EDUCATION AT SHS

level because “Under the CPP government led by the Osagyefo, Dr.

Nkrumah (the Show Boy), education was free and compulsory between 1957

to 1966” .To this, Prestea Communicators for Development PCD agrees

with the statement made by HE Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, that “when our

first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah decided to make education free in

the north, there was only one middle school in the north, the Tamale

Middle Boarding School which eventually became the Tamale Secondary

School serving the entire north. But this obvious lack of

infrastructure and unpreparedness did not prevent Nkrumah from making

education free” on the current double track government seeks to

implement.
Parents in Prestea Huni-Valley are to entreat their wards to take

advantage of this glorious opportunity.
