The headmaster of the school, Mr Osei Kuffuor disclosed this when he addressed the staff at a meeting at Nkoranza on Wednesday to discuss problems affecting the development of the school with reference to girl-child education.

He said the community is offering communal labour towards the execution of the project and commended the assemblyman for the area, Mr Paul Kwadwo Baffo, through whose efforts the people received the project.

The District Girls Education Officer, Mrs Georgina Adjei-Bemah, stressed the need for teachers to encourage girls in their schools not to drop out and urged teachers to get girls interested in science, technology and mathematics.

She advised subject teachers to study their students and give them the necessary guidance that would enable them choose the right courses for their career.
