THEME: “DISCIPLINE, THE KEY TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE”
Mr. Chairman,
Honourable Minister of Education,
(Very) Rev. Ministers
Nananom,
Distinguished Board Members, and Invited Guests,
Members of Conference of Assisted Secondary Schools
Old Students,
Parents and Guardians,
Hardworking Staff and Students,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Greetings from Winneba.
It is my pleasure to be part of this occasion, an occasion to mark the 13th Anniversary and Speech & Prize Giving Day of this relatively young but remarkable institution.
I think I should count myself quite fortunate to be part of this history-making event. Perhaps what is equally heart-warming is the consideration of the theme at stake i.e. “Discipline, the key to Academic Excellence”. I guess so many factors have influenced the choice of this theme. Primarily, I should say the organizers have been quite patriotic to have settled on the concept “Discipline” as one of the core concepts of the theme, knowing very well the backdrop of indiscipline that appears to have engulfed our Ghanaian society today.
Mr. Chairman, for the issue to have merited a whole national crusade mounted against it from the very high office of the Vice-President of the Republic, means a lot. That is, it means the issue is of prime national concern, and should be viewed as a cancer that can have a devastating impact on the socio-economic and political growth of the country. Mr. Chairman, the second concept of the theme, “Academic Excellence” is of equal significance, as we are aware of the efforts government, education authorities, and other stakeholders are making towards ensuring quality education in the country.
In this discussion, what I intend us to do is to first attempt to explore the parameters of the concept “Academic Excellence” and later the constituents of “Discipline” as emphasized in the theme, and probably look at how best it can facilitate academic excellence. An attempt will be made to discuss some of
