‘Guide children on their academic path’
The Headmistress of 3 Garrison Early Childhood Development Centre at Liberation Barracks, Sunyani in the Bono Region, Ms Helena Korkor Bamfo has urged parents not to restrict their children in their academic path to a few established career options.
“Rather, what the children need is guidance from the parents to identify their career interests and potential capabilities in realising such future aspirations.
She explained that early childhood education was designed to teach pupils problem solving skills, tasks, which help to develop their critical thinking skills and creativity which foster curiosity and sense of wonder.
Ms Bamfo made the observation at the 12th graduation ceremony of 3 Garrison Early Childhood Development Centre at Liberation Barracks on Friday where 104 pupils comprising 64 boys and 40 girls graduated.
Parents were entertained with cultural displays by pupils from some selected ethnic groups from the 16 regions of Ghana and choreographed performances.
The Headmistress appealed to parents not to allow their children to loiter about especially during the vacation but encourage them to read their books.
Mr Alfred Alban, the PTA chairman of the school admonished the parents to prioritise the education of their wards to enable them become responsible citizens in future, noting that education was the biggest legacy we can bequeathed to our children “
The Commanding Officer of 3 Battalion of Infantry Lt Cole Michael Naa in a speech read on his behalf urged parents to push their wards to strive for the best in their academic pursuit to guarantee them a better future.
He consequently commended the teachers in the school for their huge sacrifices in nurturing the young ones saying “what you do are just not ordinary tasks which can be performed by anyone else”
Lt Cole Naa congratulated the graduands and urged them to be confident and become the shining stars we want you to be.”
