Nkwabeng (Brong Ahafo) - The chiefs and people of Nkwabeng, near Nkoranza in Brong Ahafo, have appealed to the Government to assist them to establish a Senior Secondary School (SSS) to absorb Junior Secondary School (JSS) graduates in the area.

Sammy Asumah, an elder of the area made the appeal through the Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, Nana Kwadwo Seinti who was on an official visit to the area. Asumah said the people of Nkwabeng on their own started an SSS, 10 years ago but all efforts made to ask the Government to absorb it into the public system had proved futile.

Since a number of parents from the area find it difficult to enrol their children as boarders in the SSS at Nkoranza, the community has decided to establish the school to address the problem, he said.

In response, Nana Seinti promised to confer with the Regional Directorate of Education and find out how best the Nkwabeng SSS could be established.

He called on parents to invest their resources in the education of their children since that was the only legacy they could bequeath to them. The Regional Minister also urged parents to have children that they could care for in order to build responsible and healthy families.
