Effiduase (Ash), July 18, GNA – Parents have
been urged to desist from acts that affect the proper education and good health
of their children.

Mrs Dora Fosu, Sekyere East District Director
of Education of the Ghana Education Service, said parents, especially those in
rural communities should desist from the act of seeking permission from
teachers to take their wards to assist them in their farms during class hours.

Mrs. Fosu stated this at a durbar organized by
Right To Play, an international NGO and the District Directorate of Education,
to mark the global cerebration of the Child Labour Day.

She said parents and family members had a
responsibility to provide the basic needs of their children and take good care
of them.

Mrs Fosu said education and health were vital
in the growth and development of children and advised parents not to engage
children in activities that would affect their health or prevent them from
getting education.

Mr Emmanuel Nii Armah, the District Facilitator
of Right To Play, said the durbar was to create awareness among the people on
the need to desist from engaging their children on hazardous work that could
affect the health of their children and prevent them from going to school.

He said Right To Play with support from
Mondelez International Cocoa Life Programme was implementing a project, which
sought to use sports and games to promote education and health of children in
the area.

As part of the event, a quiz competition was
organized for 16 basic schools from the five circuits of the GES Directorate
with Ntunkumso R/C Junior High School from the Effiduase Circuit emerging as
the winner.

Mr Armah urged community members to support
initiatives that sought to protect their children at all times.
