Inspired by the legacy of former Headmaster R.T. Sackey,
Headmaster Owusu-Achiaw had a meeting with the staff today during which he blasted them.
When the masters came out, some of them were so much
happy while others were angry. We were told by one that the
science masters were really "insulted" by the headmaster as he was
annoyed.
Headmaster Owusu-Achiaw wants his staff to leave a legacy so they can be remembered forever
He told them that they should try and leave a legacy instead of just
receiving huge sums of money from "unnecessary" extra classes and
discarding their own students. According to another master, some of the staff didn't like the
tone with which the headmaster spoke to them. Others, however, appreciated the Headmaster's broadside
and actually thought that it was way past due.
The headmaster was so animated and furious that he did not allow the Chaplain to pray before starting the meeting, as is normally
the tradition. Furthermore, when he finished, he did not allow any of the staff to ask questions. This was also the
only meeting that he did not plan with his deputies.
He told the staff that he is going to start transfering the bad ones to other schools,
particularly "village schools where there be no electricity." He said GES will
"send them to schools like Toase and Dompoase," where he came from. He said, "afuo na mobeye; mo bedua aburoo na mo adua mako nkakra. (In the village,
farming will be the only hobby available to you; you will plant corn and then plant a few pepper)."
The Headmaster was particularly disappointed by the Science teachers for failing to bring home the Science Quiz trophy last year.
It is clear that this website's well calculated attempt to use words to pique him, as was recently done
in Mr. Sackey's Man of the Year 2006 tribute, has worked!
Headmaster Owusu-Achiaw is now seeking his own great legacy. And he is ready to sacrifice any of his non-performing staff to meet this lofty
goal.
