‘Take interest in upbringing of children’

The Senior Pastor of the Power Ministry International, Rev. Bernard Ade-Acquah has advised parents to take keen interest in the upbringing of their children by collaborating with teachers to help them study.

He also urged the government to support government-assisted schools in the country with the needed logistics to enhance their service delivery at all levels.

He said students from the government sector have for the past years performed well despite the influx of private schools across the country.

He stated this when the Power Ministry International (PMI), a congregation at Korle Gonno in the Greater Accra Region,  held a Read For Life Quiz competition for some government-assisted schools in the area. 

The schools were Ebenezer 5, Korle Gonno 4, Mamprobi South and Korle Gonno 3 junior high schools.

Programme outcome

Rev. Ade-Acquah further mentioned that the church was encouraged by the outcome of the programme, which he said had helped most of the beneficiaries of the programme who were currently reading programmes at the university including medicine, economics, statistics and the humanities. 

He added that the church had been supporting students financially at the secondary and tertiary levels, adding,  “As a church, we are poised to provide the needed platform for students to identify their talents and put them to good use”.

According to Madam Patricia Ashun, a teacher from the Ebenezer "5" Junior High School, the competition had given them the opportunity to expose their students to other areas in the educational sector.

Mrs Mercy King and Mrs Sandra Amonoo-Neizer, both coordinators of the programme, in separate remarks, expressed their excitement about the coordination and support from teachers, students and their coaches for ensuring that they comported themselves before, during and after the programme.

 Ebenezer “5” JHS emerged winners of the competition.
