Miss Abena Antwiwaa Ann-Sakyi, a former student of Wesley Girls SHS, who was recently adjudged the overall best candidate for Ghana and West Africa in the May/June 2011 West Africa Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), has been honoured by her alma mater at the basic school level.
Crown Prince Academy, where Miss Ann-Sakyi completed her Junior High School education in 2007, honoured her for her consistent excellent performance and for being a good ambassador of the school at the schools 9th graduation ceremony on Saturday in Accra where 98 pupils who wrote this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination were graduated.
The Headmaster of the Crown Prince Academy, Mr Joseph Appiah Addo decried the level of foul language in the meida, incidentally, being patronized by the country’s politicians.
He noted that most of the politicians we hear on daily basis have failed to distinguish themselves as role models, whose actions, he said, are not worthy of emulating.
“I would wish some of our honorable men and women of Parliament, members of the Executive to please take note; that as they debate matters on the floor of parliament; as they engage one another in debate or discussions in the media, as they jostle one another; they need to always have at the back of their minds, that pupils and students of the basic, secondary and tertiary institutions are listening to them. And for that matter, words they use, phrases they use, the tonalities they use whether in good or bad taste are being repeated, copied and modeled by them (pupils/students).”
He said, in addition to the 98 graduands, the school has a total population of 1188 pupils, and 775 pupils have so far graduated from there since 2004.
