THE Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Sunyani Senior High School has given the go-ahead to the school authorities to destroy all mobile phones that have been seized by the administration in the presence of the students.
Mr Joseph Awuah, the Headmaster of the school, who announced this at an awards ceremony of the school, said the use of mobile phones by students was a worrying phenomenon in recent times.
“We, therefore, urge parents not to buy mobile phones for the students, because it wastes their time and money,” he advised.
According to Mr Awuah, the major problem facing the school was the very old nature of the vehicles of the school, which he said, were risky to use.
He said one other problem bothering the authorities was accommodation for male students who always outnumbered the girls.
The Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Mr Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, gave the assurance that the government was doing all that it could to ensure high academic performance in schools and make education easily accessible to all - the rich, the poor and the marginalised.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani East, Mr J.H. Mensah, advised parents not to hesitate at all to invest in the education of their children, since they are the future leaders of the country.
