THE former Headmaster of Chemu Senior High School, Mr George Avorkliyah, has challenged students to use their knowledge in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to invent rather than engage in cyber fraud, popularly referred to as “sakawa”.
He made the call at the 14th graduation ceremony of Creator Schools in Tema, which was on the theme, “Towards a successful educational reform — Our Collective Responsibility”.
According to Mr Avorkliyah, students in advanced nations strove to outdo one another with innovations through their knowledge in various disciplines, thereby giving their countries the chance of becoming powerful countries.
He expressed regret at the “get-rich-quick” attitude which had caught up with the youth and which made them do anything within their means to achieve their purpose.
He called on the ministries of Communications and Education and other stakeholders in the ICT sector to fast-track measures being adopted to reduce cyber-related crimes in the country.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Sarpong Amankwah, applauded the dedication of the staff to duty and the profitable use of instructional hours, as well as the instilling of time management in pupils which had impacted positively on the school.
He said the school ranked among the best private educational institutions in the Tema metropolis, adding that it placed first in the maiden GIU International Christian Academy-sponsored Mathematics contest for selected schools in the metropolis.
Mr Amankwah said two students of the school, Masters Andrew Amoah and David Nketsiah, won two out of the three major awards in the competition.
He said the school authorities had resolved to provide quality education for the students.
The Proprietor of the school, Pastor Mrs Comfort Chemphe Adjarko, cautioned the graduates to comport themselves as they waited to further their education.
Book prizes were presented to pupils who excelled in various academic work during the year under review.
