SS PETER AND PAUL PRIMARY SCHOOL HOLDS PTA MEETING

Parents as a matter of concern have been advised to guide protect their children from uncensored videos and materials to help promote good values in the society. The appeal was made by the headmaster of SS Peter and Paul Primary School at Fumbisi, Robert Amwawumi, during the school’s PTA/SMC meeting held at Fumbisi in the Builsa District of the Upper East Region. Mr Amwawumi expressed worry that some children are often exposed to nudity that comes in the form of videos and pictures saying, such pictures pushes them to indulge in sexual activities which tend to affect them spiritually and morally. He said parents as guidance owe it a duty to guard and prevent their children against such vices since it has the tendency of jeopardizing their academic capabilities and performance. Mr. Awawumi also charged parents to ensure that their wards attend school regularly, and not be used as agents for income generation. He condemned parents who shirk their responsibilities on children at the neglect of their education and appealed to parents to change their attitudes towards such actions. A representative of the District Director of Education who is also the circuit Supervisor for the Fumbisi zone, Madam Margaret Akanbang also reminded parents of their civic responsibilities. He charged parents to make the education of the wards a priority adding that the development of every nation depends on the high level of education, which she said, is a panacea for development. Madam Akanbang commended the Catholic Church for their immense contribution to education in the district and the country as a whole. He therefore charged authorities of the school to maintain discipline at all levels. This, according to him, forms the basis at which the school was established. The Proprietor of the School, Rev. Dominic Broni expressed the church’s managerial and spiritual support for students at the school.
