AWUSCO old students urged to partner school management
The Volta Regional Director of Education, Mr Francis Yaw Agbemadi, has called on old students of Awudome Senior High School (AWUSCO) to continue to partner with school management in the development of their alma-mata.
According to him, if they strengthen such collaboration they can identify and prioritise projects that are most needed in the educational institutions to complete government’s effort.
Delivering the keynote address on the theme “honouring the past, shaping the future” at the homecoming and speech and prize giving day, Mr Francis Agbemadi noted that the contributions of old students reflect a deep connection to the school and their commitment to partner their alma mater.
He observed that AWUSCO over the years have contributed a lot in human resource development to all sectors of the economy and should be applauded for that.
He noted that there are a lot of imminent situation of chaos and indiscipline in second cycle institutions as the sign- posts to moral conduct have fallen on the ground.
He therefore urged all stakeholders to lead the crusade to restore moral values among the citizenry especially students.
Government, he assured would continue to create a conducive atmosphere for effective teaching and learning for the students.
The headmaster of the school, Mr Courage Meteku, in his report indicated that the school continue to chalk successes in the WASSCE results.
He enumerated some of the challenges the school is facing; among them are overcrowding of students and furniture.
Professor Leonard Amekudzi, the outgone national president of OSUA, observed that the school did not only need just the financial investment of old students but the experience, networks, entrepreneurial spirit and loyalty of old students.
He urged all to continue to support the new national executive to deliver their collective vision and strategic plans of the association.
He then handed over the mantle of leadership to the new national president, Dr Felix Kwame Nyarko, who called on everyone to come on board for a solid association.
Awards were presented to deserving students and staff.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
