New Abirem (E/R), Oct. 11, GNA – The Birim
North Association of Chiefs has honoured the Abokyikrom Roman Catholic Basic
School for being the most improved school in the 2017 Basic Education
Certificate Examination (BECE) in the district.

The Association presented a fridge and a
citation to the school.

At a short ceremony to present the items,
Obrempong Kwesi Amoh Kyeretwie I, the President of the Association and the
chief of Abirem, said the school since 2015 has recorded a remarkable
improvement in its academic performances at the BECE level and needed to be
rewarded.

He said the school registered seven candidates
for the 2017 BECE and the best student emerging with aggregate 10 and the worse
student registering aggregate 15.

In view of this, he said, the Association saw
the need to reward the school for its achievements to spur other schools to sit
up in the effort to improve quality education in the district.

Obrempong Amoh Kyeretwie I said the school,
established in 1979 with only a three- unit classroom, can now boast of a six-
units classroom block with ancillary facilities, an ICT laboratory and three
separate teachers’ quarters.

He urged students not to underrate the
environment in which they find themselves but rather persevere in their
education and forge ahead to make it in life.

Receiving the items on behalf of the school,
Mr Kingsley Odei Yeboah, the Assistant Head-teacher of the school, thanked the
association for the honour and promised to ensure that the school would
maintain its position on the BECE league table in the district.
