THE Chairman of the National Media Commission (NMC), Mr Kabral Blay-Amihere has advised students to make discipline their guiding principle in their lives.
That, he said was the only key to their success as they prepared to take their positions as future leaders in the country.
Mr Blay-Amihere was speaking on the theme “Discipline, the beacon of quality education for national development” at the 37th speech and prize giving day of the St Martin de Porres School in Dansoman, Accra.
He said in the country’s quest to produce leaders for the next generation, it was imperative that discipline was inculcated in the students.
“Respect for rules and regulations, values and norms of the society and punctuality should be the standards for producing students who would in turn be the future leaders of this country,” he said
Mr Blay-Amihere said although corporal punishment was no longer prevalent in the country’s educational system, there were several ways of ensuring discipline in schools.
He congratulated the school for its hard work and the discipline that charaterised its activities over the years.
For his part, the Headmaster of the school, Mr E. E. Inkumsah said the school’s optimum goal over the years had been academic excellence, adding that the school had achieved that with selfless dedication by the teaching staff.
He said the school was under-going a number of rehabilitation exercise to give it a facelift and to create comfort and conductive environment to enhance quality teaching and learning.
Recounting the school’s successes, Mr Inkumsah said the school performed excellently at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in 2009.
He said out of the 80 candidates who took the exams, 69 passed with distinction.
