ARE NON-SCIENCE STUDENTS BEING NEGLECTED?

Great initiatives need to be commended

I must confess that I cherish all the great things that the site is doing for Mother Prempeh. Organising such a quiz league is the first of its kind in Ghana and I commend you for that. Keep it up, Seniors and I would be glad if we keep this to ourself since people are going to learn from us. A typical example is our friends from Santasi. They will definitely start something like this very soon. I will also be glad if you can also extend this to other sectors of the school. Prempeh people like discriminating too much. Everything is science, science, science. When we were in school, the science students had everything first starting from the Awura Abena uniforms to................Yagss mmaa no. This should cease. We are all one. Obia nye obia. I also entreat all the students to learn hard and join us at Legon here. Da place dey jom.

Our non-Science students are not considered any less important than their science counterparts. They are equally cherished, in our view.

However, this year provides a golden opportunity for Prempeh College to reassert her superiority over others, particularly in the Sciences. This is because, along with a few other schools, Prempeh has won the prestigious National Science & Maths Quiz competition twice.

The rule of the national competition is that, should a school win it 3 times, all the wins of the other schools are nullified and a new series of the competition is started afresh with a new trophy, since the old trophy would be kept by the three-time winner.

Accordingly, if there is a time that Prempeh's science training needs a boost, this is it! That is why much attention is being accorded the science program. This does not in anyway imply that they (science students) are more important.

In fact, the business and arts students are all in our plans this year, and it would not be long before we launch special programs for them. Besides, let us not forget that they are all benefiting from the soccer league.

In addition, we are sponsoring the Writers & Debaters Club in the National Independence Debate Competition, which is part of the Prempeh.org "Tripple crown" concept, which is, to win the National Science & Maths Quiz Competiton, the National Milo Soccer Competition and the National Independence Debate Competition.

If we succeed in achieving this goal, we will make history by becoming the first school to achieve such an honour.
