Mother Care School

 

Mother Care School has launched its 60th anniversary celebration at a well-attended ceremony.
In attendance were teachers, parents students, and other crucial stakeholders in the education sector.

The year-long celebration is on the theme: “Shaping The Future-The Role of Education In Creating Global Citizens.”

Reverend Solomon Kotey Nikoi, La Dadekotopon Municipal Chief Executive, in his remarks at the launch of the anniversary in Accra, said the provision of educational facilities was the responsibility of the government, parents, corporate bodies, and the community.

He said, “Government could never provide all we need in education in the quantum that may be critical to affect educational quality, it is the responsibility of all.”

Reverend Solomon Kotey Nikoi said people who were in positions of responsibility should remember that they owed a duty not only to their parents and the large society but also to the schools that nurtured them to become what they are today.

Some of the activities planned for the celebration are float, medical outreach, health walk, speech and prize-giving day, and thanksgiving service.

Reverend Nikoi said quality education could not be achieved without adequate learning materials and infrastructure as well as a good learning environment.

The Municipal Chief Executive said education had always been the tool for the development of the people and as the world was changing rapidly, Ghana could not afford to be left behind.

He said educating a child was not the sole responsibility of the teacher but primarily the onus lies with the parents to mentor their offspring and provide them with their needs and support.

Reverend. Nikoi urged parents to view the education of their children as an investment for the future.
Mrs. Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon in her delivery commended the management of the school for shaping more lives over the years and urged parents to invest more in the education of their children.

She said quality education called for sacrifice, stressing that investing in the education of the child was necessary to address child delinquency and other irresponsible behaviour on the part of children who did not have a proper upbringing.

The Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon said “Education is a shared responsibility and that a country that failed to develop its people intellectually faced the challenge of opting out of the ‘global village’ where knowledge and transformation are the order of the day.”

Madam Sheilla Asare, The Director of Mother Care School said the school established some 60 years ago had transformed the lives of many, some of them occupying key positions in the country.

She commended parents for supporting the school and investing in their children’s education.
A Robotic Centre constructed by the Ghana Skills and Development Fund for the school was commissioned to enable the children to compete with the outside world and to be able to solve the challenges confronting the world.
