President of the Central Regional House of Chiefs, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi
The President of the Central Regional House of Chiefs, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi, has proposed the establishment of a special school to help pregnant girls who drop out of school return to the classrooms.
To that end, he appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) to assist in the establishment of such a school.
Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi, who is also a Member of the Council of State, said this in a remark at the 10th anniversary and third Speech and Prize Giving Day of the Efutu Senior High Technical School, at the weekend.
The anniversary was on the theme "improving infrastructure in community schools; the role of stakeholders".
As chairman for the function, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi said the school, if established would create the platform for pregnant girls to fulfill their dreams and also address the numerous problems associated with such girls who dropped out of school.
He said that many generations may be lost to poverty and deprivation if the nation failed to adopt measures to promote education among the citizenry.
He advocated the teaching of the nation's culture in all spheres of the academic ladder to help address problems of the current generation.
He called on Ghanaians not to allow the imposition of any foreign culture on the nation but strive to maintain the values of the country.
Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi called on parents to educate their children on sex and said that many girls drop out of school as a result of non education on sexual behaviours.
He further called for the adoption of a strategic plan to address the human resource base which he said constitute the backbone of the country's economy.
The Member of Parliament for Cape Coast and Deputy Attorney General, Ebo Barton Odro, urged the students to develop a vision and strive to achieve their goals
