Rev. Victor Buer Titriku Nartey-Tokoli and his able lieutenant Rev. Peter John Moss. <\/p>\n<p>He noted that the School has a rich history of excellence , discipline and dedicated service to Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201d we would forever be grateful to the founder of our great school Rt.Rev. Victor Buer Titriku Nartey-Tokoli, Rev. Peter John Moss and the dedicated team of Teachers and staff for their great vision, sacrifice and dedication in the creation of opportunities for poor people to have access to quality and affordable education to serve their nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Kawsecans  regard the Free SHS policy of the NPP government led by Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the renaissance of the vision of their Founder, Rt. Rev. Victor Buer Nartey-Tokoli in creating opportunities for children from poor families to have access to affordable and quality education which was supported by Rev. Peter John Moss.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Mr. Akufo-Addo would be remembered for ensuring that children from rich and poor families have equal access to quality and affordable education.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on the significance of the free SHS policy, he added that \u201cas a nation, we are endowed with natural wealth such as gold , diamond , oil , bauxite in addition to our human capital endowments but our grim poverty shows the disconnection between our intellectual endowment and our national development efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cthe economic and social problems of our nation should challenge us to do a rethinking of making education relevant to national development by mainstreaming national orientation in academic curricula. Many years of slavery and colonial rule had eroded our nationalistic sentiments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201d I humbly suggest that there must be a conscious effort by the state to teach our citizens how to love their nation and this must start from our schools,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Melvin Tarlue <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nkawkwa Senior High School (SHS) in the Eastern Region, popularly known as KWASEC, has celebrated its 50th anniversary.
