He said students perform better academically and socially when they receive financial, emotional, and moral support from their families.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), he urged parents to take an active interest in their children’s education by ensuring they have the necessities, monitoring their academic progress, and encouraging them to remain focused on their studies.
“I plead with parents to occasionally check up on their wards after bringing them to school. Doing so will boost their morale and motivate them to take their studies seriously,” he said.
Mr Kekle also highlighted key challenges facing the college, some of which were inadequate infrastructure, insufficient classroom blocks, water crisis, and poor road network leading to the school.
“If I had the opportunity to meet the President of Ghana, I would plead with him to help relocate the college because the sea is fast approaching, putting students at risk,” he lamented.
He called on all stakeholders in Ada to prioritise the welfare of ADACOE, emphasising that it was the only teacher training institution in the Ada State.
He also appealed to NGOs and well-meaning individuals to support the school in its quest to become one of the best in West Africa.
He assured students that the SRC was committed to working with the school authorities to create a conducive learning environment, adding, however, that their success also depends on the support they receive from home.
