The Parents Association of the Berekum Methodist Senior High and Technical School (MISTECH) at Biadan in the Berekum East Municipality in the Bono Region has cut the sod for the construction of a fence wall for the institution.
Speaking at the ceremony in the presence of the executives of the association, the school management board and the board of governors, parents and students, the Superintendent Minister of the Berekum Circuit of the Methodist Church, Rev. Kwaku Effah, on behalf of the Bishop of the Sunyani Diocese of the Methodist Church, Right Rev. Daniel Kwasi Tanno, thanked the parents for the project to protect the school lands from encroachers and enhance the security of the students on campus.
The Chairman of the Association, Mr. Omega Korang Mensah, also commended the authorities and parents of the school for their preparedness to cut the sod for the construction of the fence wall.
He said the construction of the fence wall was being funded by the Association through their contributions, and called for support from the old students.
According to him, if the fence wall was completed, it would help protect the school’s 61 acres of land from encroachers.
The Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Monica Oforiwaa Asiedu, thanked the Association and the school management for their contributions towards the progress of the school.
She explained that the wall, when finished, would help protect the children in the training they were receiving in the school.
The Headmistress also appealed to the people of Berekum to assist the school, either with building materials as well as cash, to aid the Association to complete the fence wall on time.
She advised the students to be of good behaviour to achieve their aim in school, and commended the Students Representative Council (SRC) for its support to provide over 3,000 blocks for the construction of the fence wall.
