Kumasi, Nov. 27, GNA -- Fosuaba Mensah Banahene, Administrator of GETFUND has advised pupils and students in basic and second cycle institutions to be circumspect about the programmes they patronized in the mass media and the internet not to jeopardize their future. He said they should rather patronize decent and educative programmes to inculcate good moral values into them.

Fosuaba Banahene gave the advice at the Ninth Speech and Prize-giving day of Yaa Asantewaah Girls Secondary School (YAGS) in Kumasi. It was under the theme 93Discipline and hard work - Sine qua non for Girl-child Education=94.

He expressed concern about activities of the media designed to promote education and civility but now promoting undesirable behaviour among the youth.

Fosuaba Banahene said in view of the dangers these developments posed to the future of the youth, parents should strive to collaborate with teachers to subject their children and wards to a systematic training in moral standards.

He appealed to Government to allocate equal resources to schools and institutions for girls as well as the provision of scholarships and bursaries for girls who distinguished themselves in the academic field to boost girl-child education in the country.

Fosuaba Banahene announced that GETFUND had allocated funds for the construction of a 1,500-seating capacity modern assembly hall, construction of block of flats for tutors and rehabilitation of dilapidated structures in the school.

Mrs Elizabeth Malik Jabir, Headmistress of the school, said out of the 600 candidates the school presented for this year's WAEC Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination, 514 passed in all eight subjects, 79 passed in seven subjects while six passed in six subjects with a candidate absenting herself. 27 Nov. 06
