Ashanti Regional Minister cautions students against indiscipline and teachers' attacks
Dr Frank Amoakohene, Ashanti Regional Minister, cautioned students against acts of vandalism and attacks on teachers in their various campuses when he addressed students of Kumasi Academy (KUMACA) at the launch of the school's 70th anniversary logo and cloth at the school auditorium in Kumasi. He stated that the rising spate of assaults on teachers and destruction of school properties by some students as reported in the media, was worrying and there was the need for students to put a stop to it, since such behavior could derail academic work and compromise educational environment.
The anniversary will be held under the theme: "Shaping character, cultivating minds, and nurturing souls." The official launch marks the formal commencement of a year-long calendar of milestone activities leading up to the grand anniversary durbar. Activities lined up include a health walk, exhibition, fun-filled games, a speech and prize-giving day, entertainment, and thanksgiving services. Global alumni associations, including branches in the United States and the United Kingdom, are mobilising resources to fund critical infrastructure development on campus, such as the expansion of the school's newly completed dormitory blocks and upgrading dining hall facilities. Dr Amoakohene urged students not to allow the hard-earned reputation of the school to be undermined by indiscipline and appealed to them to continue observing the strict standards of discipline instilled by the Baptist missionaries. He referenced a recent incident at Obuasi Secondary Technical School where the headmaster was attacked and school property vandalised.
