Beware of scam schemes
It is important for everyone in this country to bewary of various schemes that are designed by fraudulent people to deceive the public.
Various scams are put in place to influence people to believe that once they give out some money or valuable items to the scammers, they are likely to be rewarded in fantastic ways.
In the world of today, nothing comes easily to anyone so if maximum effort is not made to ensure enough results in the form of making profits or money, not much can be achieved.
If this is the case, then every person must work hard to achieve better results.
Some of the dubious schemes entail the recruitment into the police service and other security agencies, use of prominent names to deceive unsuspecting people, fraudulently asking people to bring deposits of money to be doubled or tripled by so-called magicians and many others instituted to deceive people in various parts of the country.
Any person can work hard and become rich so you need not go for rituals from anyone before becoming wealthy.
If such schemers can double or triple money, then they themselves would not be looking poor and wretched. This is what every person must know in order to avoid being deceived by such scammers.
People must also be aware of being enticed in a fraudulent manner to invest for huge interests within a short time. A lot of such schemes have taken place in this country and many people have lost huge sums of money or wealth.
It is important to note that hard work never kills, so any hardworking person stands the chance of making it in life if only the correct steps are taken.
Hard work is what is needed by students to come out with flying colours in their examinations. It is not by magical powers or so-called prophets that can make it possible to guarantee success in the lives of people.
We must all be aware of the scammers, so that the little money or fortune we have will always remain protected at all times.
The Bank of Ghana has come out with warnings on some scammers who desire to trick people through various schemes. People must beware of this and stick to the pieces of advice given by BoG, so that they don’t fall prey to any scammers.
Dear Editor,
THE Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that most Senior High Schools (SHSs) will return to the single-track system by this month.
For many students and parents, this feels like a relief. But before we move on, we must take a moment to reflect.
The double-track system helped thousands of students get into schools. It gave hope to families who couldn’t afford private education. But it also came with challenges.
Some students had shorter terms, others had longer breaks. Teachers were stretched, and learning felt rushed. Many students felt left behind not because they didn’t try, but because the system didn’t give them enough time.
Now that we’re returning to single-track, let’s make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. We need more classrooms, better planning, and support for teachers.
Education is not just about getting into school. It’s about feeling safe and supported. Let’s build a system that gives every child a real chance.

Dear Editor
As it is critical for preserving our surroundings, there is the urgent need for increased awareness and action to protect Ghana’s environment and resources.
Ghana’s forest reserves, vast savannas and scenic coastlines serve as homes and habitats to a wide range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species.
Our vegetation and rich soil deposits provide the nation with food, plants and animal resources, which ensures food availability and accessibility for the population.
However, the country’s environment is facing numerous threats including deforestation, overexploitation, pollution, etc.
The importance of environmental conservation cannot be overstated; our natural resources are the backbone of our economy, playing a vital role in driving the country’s economic growth and development.
It is therefore critical that we take actions to protect them for our future generations.
There is the need for collective action to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
Environmentalists, various organizations and private individuals must come on board to promote environmental conservation, through tree planting exercises, clean-up campaigns, and resource conservation practices.
These efforts, when carried out effectively, would create a long-lasting impact in protecting and conserving the country’s environment.
The Ghanaian government should also implement policies and conduct regular programmes aimed at promoting environmental conservation.
