A thirteen (13) member Board of Governors of the Nkwanta Community Senior High Technical School, has been inaugurated and sworn in to steer affairs of the school for the next three years.
It has the Mr Jonathan Harry Mpeniasah, retired Educationist as a Representative of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) as Chairman , Volta / Oti Regional Education Director Ms Enyonam Afi Amafugah and the Headmaster of the School, Mr Samuel H.K Avevor.
Others include the PTA rep, Moses Yao Faal Gbande , Mr Albert Kwabena Osei and Claudio Kpormegbe both representing Nkwanta South Municipal Assembly, Ms Sewurah Agnes Abena and Mr Damson Mawuena Kwadwo representing the Old Students Association.
Mr Martin Y. Sakyi represents the teaching staff and Mr Wisdom Kofi Akpeke serves on the Board as a-non teaching staff representative.
The rest are the Traditional rep Nana Bekpnaiso II and Samuel Kwame Sunkwa , the Assistant Headmaster of the School, Mr John Sitsofe Nukunu as Board Secretary.
His Lorship, Baba Iddi Issahaku who swore them in, administered the oath of office, allegiance and secrecy to the new Board members.
In an inaugural address, the Volta/ Oti Regional Education Director Ms Enyonam Afi Amafugah charged the members to bring their expertise to bear on the development of the school.
She asked them to lend the required support to the School to deal with challenges such as indiscipline, lateness to school, reluctance to pay school fees and improve the academic performance of the school.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Samuel H.K Avevor in his address said the school which is running for four years is entangled with plights pressuring and overstretching the work of the administration.
The Headmaster said as a community school, its vision was to lay a solid foundation based on God-fearing students to receive sound educational doctrines to prepare them ahead of their future.
Mr Avevor noted the school is in a dire need of dining hall for the hot meal since students set their own tables on their laps, in their hands and sometimes they eat while walking around.
The school also needs toilet facility and other places of convenience he hinted
He is, therefore, calling on the Central government to come to their aid and provide them with quarters for teachers on campus and headmaster, science laboratories, a six-unit classroom block to appropriately contain the students and bring a stop to the double-track system which is making supervision and monitoring of both staff and students difficult.
