PTA BUILDS DINING HALL FOR ISLAMIC SHS (PAGE 11)

THE Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Islamic Senior High School, has constructed a dining hall for the school.
The hall, which cost GH¢16,657, was funded through a special levy of parents.
Speaking at a handing over ceremony, the Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Ceasar Kale, commended the PTA for its foresight and urged the school to make judicious use of the facility.
He appealed to the students to maintain the structure in order to benefit future students.
Mr Kale said the Government would continue to place premium on education, adding that the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) would be supported to ensure that a lot of schools were provided with the needed facilities.
He was happy that from a humble beginning, the school had grown to be one of the best in the region.
Mr Kale told the students that they could impact greatly on society, if they performed very well.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Alhassan Suleimana, thanked the parents, staff and the student body for their continuous co-operation.
Since the year 2000, he said the PTA had provided a number of structures, which include, a Home Economics laboratory which now serves as an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre, classroom blocks, library, desks and beds for the school.
He appealed to the Government to assist in fencing the school to prevent people from encroaching on its lands.
The PTA Secretary, Mr Nuhu Isaahaku, gave the assurance that plans were underway to provide more structures for the school.
