THE Member of Parliament for Adenta, Mr Kojo Adu Asare, has cautioned final-year students who are writing the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) to refrain any malpractice that will lead to the cancellation of their papers.
He has also advised teachers handling the students to assist them to revise their notes instead of using unorthodox methods to reach out to the students in the examination hall to assist them write their papers.
Mr Asare was interacting with the final- year students who are sitting for the BECE at the Adenta Community School just before the examinations began yesterday.
The MP also distributed 1,450 mathematical sets to the students to motivate them to be successful in the examinations.
“My gesture is to inspire students in the constituency to come out with flying colours”, he said, adding that he would place premium on education during his tenure of office.
The items, worth GH¢2,300.00 were purchased from the MP’s share of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF).
He added that besides the construction of school buildings, it was necessary for people in authority to periodically interact with students during this period to encourage them.
Mr Asare indicated that he would soon institute a scholarship scheme to assist needy, brilliant students to pursue higher academic laurels.
The MP appealed to parents of the students to create a congenial atmosphere to encourage the students to revise their notes to enable them pass their examinations.
An Assistant Director of Education at the Adenta Municipal Education Office, Mr Daniel Yeboah, thanked the MP for his gesture and expressed the hope that the students would be motivated to write the BECE.
A final-year student of the De-Youngster’s International School, Miss Celine Agbefu, on behalf of her colleagues commended the MP for the donation and promised that they would work hard to uplift the image of the municipality by coming out with excellent grades.
