An educationist and a former Headmaster of Sogakope Senior High School (SOGASCO), Mr Kwame Tawiah Agor has stressed the need for parents to invest massively in the education of their children to prepare them adequately to face the future with confidence.
Mr Agor said education was the only tool that could be used to transform lives, and adequately prepare children to become responsible adults in future, therefore parents should regard investment in the education of their wards as the best legacy they could leave for them.
He was speaking on the theme: ‘’Transforming Lives Through Education, Preparing Lives for Tomorrow’’ at the first speech and prize-giving day of Inheritance School at Kpetoe in the Agortime-Ziope District of the Volta region.
Mr Agor emphasised that the provision of holistic, accessible and quality education should be seen as the only way to transforming lives to ensure that the youth would be prepared sufficiently to become responsible adults in future.
He also asked pupils and students to take their lessons seriously, and refrain from practices likely to affect their education, which would endanger their future.
The educationist, stressed the importance of children to respect their parents and teachers, to enable them to provide their needs and impact knowledge to them, which was key to their future development, and added that pupils and students should work hard to justify the investment parents were making in them.
The Proprietor of Inheritance School, Mr Anthony Agbovi said the school which was established in 2015, was adjudged the best basic school in the Agortime-Ziope District in terms of academic performance at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Mr Agbovi said the vision of the school was to be the best in the district and among the best five basic schools in the country, as education was the bedrock of development, therefore the Inheritance School was committed to provide the best education to children as they were being prepared to face the future with sureness.
The Headmaster of Inheritance School, Mr Michael Semanu Owusu announced that the school had a total population of 427 made up of 217 boys and 210 girls and 20 teachers and urged stakeholders to live up to their responsibilities to sustain the progress made so far.
The Chairman of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Mr Bright K. Egbenu lauded the efforts of the management of the school and also commended teachers for their hard work which had distinguished the school as the best in the district, and pledged on behalf of parents to contribute meaningfully towards the development of the school.
A total of 12 pupils, students, teachers and non-teaching staff who distinguished themselves received citations, textbooks and cash as their awards.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed all aspirants campaigning in the Greater Accra Region to suspend their campaign activities on August 5 and 6 and instead mobilise supporters for the party’s planned “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
The directive was issued by the party’s National Steering Committee in a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure a strong turnout for the demonstration, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
The party said the protest would begin at 5:00 a.m., with participants expected to gather at the Supreme Court in Accra.
It further directed Regional, Constituency and Polling Station Executives in Greater Accra to work closely to mobilise members and supporters for the event.
“The National Steering Committee is calling on all aspirants currently campaigning across the Greater Accra Region to temporarily suspend their campaign activities on the 5th and 6th of August and join in mobilising support for the upcoming demonstration,” the statement noted.
The NPP appealed to party members and supporters to remain peaceful, disciplined and orderly throughout the protest.
The demonstration forms part of the party’s response to concerns it has raised over issues relating to Ghana’s democratic governance and the justice system.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
