New Board of governors inaugurated for Dormaa Secondary

Dormaa Ahenkro (Brong Ahafo) - Mrs Akua A. Debrah, Acting Brong Ahafo Regional Director of Education, has inaugurated a 13-member board of governors of the Dormaa Secondary School (DIRMASS) at Dormaa Ahenkro in Brong Ahafo.

She told the board that it has a very big task of helping in the administration of the school. Mrs Debrah mentioned controlling the general policy of the institution, submission of an annual report and ensuring environmental cleanliness as some of its functions.

She appealed to members to liaise with the District Oversight Committee (DOC) to see to the proper administration of the school.

As board members, they should live above reproach and always think of what they could do to improve the school. Mrs Debrah appealed to them not to interfere unduly in the day-to-day administration of the school hoping that the Headmaster would always consult members in any major decisions of the school.

Alex Baah-Boffah, Headmaster of the school commended the students for their high sense of discipline. He said he was happy with the school's examinations results for the last year especially the business department and the improvement in the science department.

The Headmaster also expressed concern about the encroachment of some developers on school land and said that efforts have been made to construct a fence wall around the school.

The 13-member board of directors is under the chairmanship of Osagyefo Oseadeeye Agyeman Badu, Omanhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area and also an old student of the school. He called on members to work as a team with the old Students Association to develop the school.
