The Central Regional Director of Education, David Affram, has charged the new board members of Aggrey Memorial Zion Senior High School (SHS) in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese (AAK) District to use their positions to promote discipline in the school.
He tasked them to help tackle indiscipline, alcoholism, homosexuality, lesbianism and other negative tendencies in the various Senior High Schools.
Mr Affram gave the advice during the inauguration a 16-member board of the school that would steer the affairs of the institution for three years.
He emphasized the need for the board to help instill total discipline in the students, as well as the staff to uplift the image of the school to support the administration to run the school effectively.
The regional director added that they should also handle students properly in order not destroy them.
The regional director underscored the need for the board to study the constitution to avoid conflict of interest, citing an instance whereby some board members instructed head teachers to admit their relatives, who failed in the BECE.
Mr Affram commended the outgoing board members for showing commitment to the development of the school and appealed to the new board members to give off their best.
The headmaster, Rev Boadu noted that the school, which has been in existence for the past 76 years, is ranked among the best in the region.
Rev Boadu hinted that the outgoing board performed creditably, adding that a school without a board is incomplete.
The board members include Dr Jimmy Hermans as chairman, the headmaster of the school, Rev Franklin. K Boadu, David Affram, Helpina H. Adams, Francis Koomson Barnes, Emmanuel Oscar Oduro, Samuel Omare Tenkorang and Bartholomew Eghan.
The rest are Samuel Kingsley Acquah, Okatakyi Dr Amenfi VII, David Percy Duker, Peter Amponsah-Mensah, Napoleon Nsakpoh-Tawiah, David Abaka-Yawson, George Jerry Hanson and Evelyn Boakye-Mensah.
