Salaga (Northern Region) 9th July '99

The Catholic Education Unit in the Northern Region has organised a three-day workshop at Salaga for 35 headteachers of the unit's schools in the East Gonja and Nanumba Districts to update their managerial skills.

Closing the session, the Assistant Director of Education in charge of manpower at the district education office, Mr Isaak Bonzali, said headteachers should elicit the support of the communities to solve some of the problems facing their schools and refrain from referring every problem to Government.

He said the answers to some of the problems are within their competence and they should use their initiative to get things going instead of allowing little problems to bog them down.

He commended the Catholic Church for organising the workshop which is the second of its kind and urged the participants to put what they have learnt into practice.
