Following President Nana
Akufo-Addo’s Address to the Nation where he announced that schools should
reopen today, pupils and students were expected to throng the schools today.
However, the case was different
in the Kpandai Senior High School (KPANSEC), a government institution in the
Northern Region where absence was heavily felt.
The headmaster of the institution, Mugisu Abubakar,
attributed that to the unrepentant lateness of boarders in returning to school.
For students who have no interest in returning due to
marriage or pregnancy, Mr Abubakar said the school was ready to accept that
category of persons.
“It is our expectation that everybody will come
especially the girl child. I appeal to everyone whether you are pregnant due to
the COVID lockdown or marriage, education is very important for you.
“Going forward, this condition
doesn’t stop you from coming to school.
The school is not stopping you because we know the importance of education in
your lives,” he assured.
That said, the headmaster admonished pregnant
students to report their situation to the authorities on time to make provision
for their safety and comfort.
