The Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education, Hon. Peter Nortsu-Kotoe, has directed the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Ho West, Mr. Francis Dussey Profer, to collaborate with the management of Abutia Senior High Technical School (ABUSTECH) to secure all documentation on the school boundaries.

The directive aims to protect ABUSTECH’s total land size and ward off encroachers to prevent annexation by persons who may falsely claim ownership of parcels of the school land reserved for developmental projects in the future.

To help facilitate the documentation process, Hon. Nortsu-Kotoe further appealed to the school’s management to reactivate the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). According to him, the move will also help foster good relations between teachers and parents.

“You are a major stakeholder and a native of this Community. Ninety days will be enough for you to put in place the PTA together with the school authorities and get the school boundary demarcated and documented,” he stated.

Hon. Nortsu-Kotoe issued these directives during the Committee’s visit to selected schools in the Volta Region as part of their oversight responsibilities as representatives of the people.

The visit which cuts across the country, revealed the numerous essential roles played by the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure and social amenities for some of the schools visited, such as providing boreholes, motivating teachers, and constructing dormitories and bungalows for both staff and students.

However, the Headmaster of the school, Rev. Samuel Pius Elewoker, in his presentation, contended that his school’s PTA had not been active for some time. He mentioned that, the construction of a dining hall, which started in 2005, has stalled.

On his part, the Member of Parliament for Sene West, Hon. Dominic Napare, in counselling the students, cautioned them to take their studies seriously and abide by all established school rules and regulations.

Meanwhile, the Committee also extended the tour to Adaklu Senior High School to engage with students and management in order to gain first-hand insight into the state of education at the school.
