Gomoa West MP spends parliamentary break in the classroom; teaches Apam SHS students
Richard Gyan, Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, spent his parliamentary recess teaching at his alma school, Apam Senior High School in the Central area.
According to the MP, his timetable at the period included, among other things, taking Form Two (2) Business students through essential themes in Financial Accounting and Economics, such as mistake correction, suspense account, market structures, and the revenue idea.
This move, he claims, was intended to allow him to learn firsthand about the challenges that teachers, school administrators, and students faced, as well as to provide some variety in their studies by providing practical insights and real-world examples to make learning these subjects more meaningful and practical.
“I had the uncommon privilege of spending two weeks of the parliamentary recess period as a guest teacher at the Apam Senior High School, my alma mater,” he stated.
According to him, the kids’ passion, desire, and genuine quest for knowledge were extremely inspirational, and he was convinced that with such enthusiasm, they would attain great heights in their academic studies and beyond.
He averred, “I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to the management of the school for the warm reception and incredible hospitality accorded me during the period. I must confess that to say that I am impressed with the conduct and sacrifices of the staff of the school will be an understatement.”
“The commitment and dedication being invested in shaping the future of the students, and in ensuring that Apam Senior High School remains a place of choice for the provision of quality education and character development is extremely commendable, and I salute management and all the staff, both teaching and non-teaching.”
Mr. Gyan adds that while he treasures the experiences and looks forward to future opportunities like this, he confesses that, despite being a frequent visitor to the school, his two two-week stays with the staff and children were a great eye-opener.
He concluded, “I have learned at first, the challenges faced by the school, especially the staff and the students in the discharge of their duties and their learning processes respectively.”
“I shall in the coming days, hold the necessary engagements with the relevant stakeholders towards finding solutions to the challenges identified. Once again, thank you so much, Apam Senior High School, for the opportunity.”
