Kudos to Glory Hill International School
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am thrilled by the style of Glory Hill International School situated at Oyarifa School junction, in terms of how their final year students are handled on completion of their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the excitement is what has informed my decision to write this letter.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only school when you finished writing the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), the management of the school gives the students a break for one week, and then the students go back to school until the term ends.
One may ask ‘what the students will be doing since they would have been done with their final exam; well they are taught about their next level of education – Senior High School (SHS).
They take them through the compulsory subjects such as Mathematics and English are delved into preparations for their graduation ceremony which comes off on the last day of the term or so.
For me, this initiative by the school is very laudable and worth emulating.
It broadens the horizon of the students, prepares them for their next level of academic pursuits, and prevents unnecessary roaming about especially as parents who have left for work.
Again these JHS graduates of Glory Hills International School in Oyarifa, as a result of the schools initiative, are very less likely to spend all their time on mobile phones as is the norm with most BECE graduates because they will still be in school.
Additionally, by this act the school ensures that the school fees paid for the term is fully exhausted and not “cut-off” after the BECE.
By this letter, I am commending the founder of the school Mrs. Georgina Obeng as well as management and staff of the school for this laudable act.
We need more of such initiatives in our schools.
