The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) in the Oti Region has called on the government to enhance the education system by equipping Secondary Technical Institutions in the area.
This appeal was made during a courtesy visit to the Oti Regional Minister, John Kwadwo Gyapong, where they congratulated him on his nomination.
In an interview with Adom News, the chairman of CHASS, Charles Nyame Kormisah, highlighted several challenges faced by second-cycle institutions.
These challenges include a lack of infrastructure, stalled projects, insufficient furniture, a shortage of pick-up vehicles, and inadequate computers.
He also stressed the importance of establishing a STEM school to promote education in science and technology.
Kormisah raised concerns about the academic preparedness of Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates admitted to second-cycle institutions, as well as the need for more non-teaching staff to support school operations.
Through the Oti Regional Minister, CHASS urged the government to address these pressing needs to improve the quality of education in the region.
In response, Oti Regional Minister John Kwadwo Gyapong assured the members of CHASS that he would engage with the Minister of Education and the government to tackle the challenges faced by secondary technical institutions.
He committed to using his platform to advocate for the necessary support, ensuring that the concerns of CHASS would be communicated to the relevant authorities for action.
