The school prefect of Kumasi Girls’ High (KGEE), Miss Dorcas Addai, has appealed to parents and guardians to take the education of the girl-child seriously.
She said investing in the education of girls would help equip them to meet the demands of the modern world.
Ms Addai made the appeal in an address at KGEE’s 47th Speech and Prize-giving Day celebration at Abrepokese in Kumasi. the theme for the celebration was ‘Girl Child Education, Opportunities and Challenges in Science and ICT’.
She observed that in view of the current technological transformation in the world there was the need to ensure that girls were properly trained because “women are the pillars of development”, adding that “there’s the likelihood that in the not too distant future one would require ICT knowledge to work in the kitchen”.
The Headmistress, Miss Kraah said the school had always aimed at academic and moral excellence and had for the past three years in succession obtained 100 per cent in the final examinations .
She said the admission of students from KGEE into the nation’s universities and other tertiary institutions such as Nursing, Teaching and Polytechnics had quadrupled over the years.
Ms Kraah appealed to the government to complete the abandoned dining hall and classroom block project and help solve the perennial water problem in the school.
She commended the school’s PTA and the Kumasi Rotary club for providing two boreholes for the school to ease the water problem.
