Management targets 1.5 billion cedis to relocate school

Kumasi, Jan 26, GNA - The founder and management of Prince of Peace Girls' Secondary School have targeted 1.5 billion cedis for the relocation of the school from its present site at South Suntreso in Kumasi to Paakoso.

Miss Dorothy Kyei, the Headmistress of the school, said this had become necessary because the present facilities of the school were unable to cope with the increasing number of students seeking admission annually.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview on Friday, she appealed to stakeholders to support the school in cash or in kind so that together "we can assist effectively in the development of the girl-child for mother Ghana".

She said the school, founded in 1982 by the Most Reverend Peter Akwasi Sarpong, Catholic Archbishop of Kumasi, is celebrating its silver jubilee this year and a year long programme had been planned.
