The Sunyani Municipal Director of Education, Mr Mark Godfred Domah has explained that in bringing up children, it is also important to pay particular attention to character and behaviour development.
That, he said would achieve a holistic child education.
He said many a time, teachers focus so much on the development of the mind, neglecting other important factors like behaviour and character.
This, he noted can be achieved through effective collaboration between teachers, parents and the community.
Mr Domah said this at the fifth graduation ceremony of three Garrison Kindergarten School at the Liberation Barracks, Sunyani in the Bono Region.
As part of activities to mark the day, the pupils treated guests with military drills by the school cadet, choreography and some recreational dances such as Gotha and Bima dances performed by the Ewe and Frafra people.
According to Mr Domah, educating school children were not limited to the school environment alone but other complementary roles played by parents and the community.
This, he said, was very crucial for their social, political and economic well-being in building a vibrant county.
He called on parents to assist teachers in the training of their children by providing their educational needs and urged teachers to pay attention to the character and behaviour development of their school children.
The headmistress of the school, Madam Veronica Azaanab said the school was working to build a Kindergarten structure which is anchored on excellence and a well-motivated staff to nurture the future generation

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana has signed a debt restructuring agreement with the Kingdom of Belgium as part of efforts to restore the country’s economic stability after the financial crisis that hit the nation in 2022 and 2023.
The Minister of Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, today disclosed that he signed the agreement on behalf of the Government of Ghana.
He explained that Ghana experienced a very difficult period during the crisis, which forced the government at the time to declare a debt default.
However, he indicated that the country is now recovering and witnessing a significant economic turnaround.
According to him, stronger systems are also being put in place to ensure that Ghana does not return to such a situation again.
Dr Forson noted that the agreement with Belgium is the eighth deal Ghana has concluded with countries under the Official Creditor Committee as part of its external debt restructuring programme.
He expressed appreciation to the Government of Belgium for its support and partnership with Ghana during the process.
The Finance Minister thanked Carole van Eyll, Ambassador of Belgium to Ghana, for her role in strengthening relations between the two countries.
The agreement forms part of Ghana’s broader effort to restructure its external debts and stabilise the economy following the crisis.
