Kumasi, Sept 14, GNA – Parents have been
counselled to maintain strict
supervision of their wards, especially girls, as they spent two months
at home, awaiting their turn to begin second cycle education.
Mr Samuel Oduro, a parent registering his
child at the Serwaa Nyarko Senior High School in Kumasi, speaking to the Ghana
News Agency, said parents needed to keep an eagle’s eye on their children and
always counsel them to stay clear of habits that could truncate their
education, as they waited for their turn to go school.
The GNA as part of its visit to some senior
high schools in the Kumasi Metropolis, when the academic year began observed
that the queues of parents trying to register their wards admitted under both
tracks of the system, had minimised a bit on Thursday, since most of them did
the registration on the first day and second days.
The situation was however different on Monday,
the beginning of the academic year when the GNA visited the Armed Forces Senior
High school and the Kumasi Girls School, all in Kumasi.
School authorities were however not prepared
to speak to the GNA team, but GNA observed that there was smooth take-off of
the Double-Track System.
Parents, some traveling from as far as Bogoso
in the Western were among the others who had formed long, winding queues, in a
frantic effort to register their children.
