The Paramount Chief for Prang in the Pru West District of the Bono East Region, Nana Kwadwo Nyarko III, has reiterated his commitment to providing quality education for the socio-economic development of the country. He has therefore called on the government to improve dormitory and other infrastructural challenges at Prang Senior High School to pave the way for quality education.

In his speech during a mini tour to the school to interact with the students and staff, Nana Kwadwo Nyarko lamented that the growing number of the school’s enrolment is putting much pressure on the existing infrastructure, which needs to be addressed.

Nana Kwadwo Nyarko explained that no nation would ever attain her hopes and aspirational goals if it toys with her education. “I, Nana Kwadwo Nyarko, want to assure you that I will do my best for the government to come to the aid of this school.” He emphasised.

According to him, the student population of the school is over two thousand, which does not match the infrastructure of the school. He said the most horrible side is that students have converted some classrooms into dormitories at nights. Nana Kwadwo Nyarko said this situation is not only affecting teaching and learning but also poses a serious environmental threat to the students.

He challenged the students to take their education more seriously and avoid practices that could jeopardise their future. “You must shun all forms of lateness, going to town without an exeat, drinking and smoking and focusing on your education to come out with excellent grades.” He cautioned.
