As a legacy project for the administration of the school, the St. Augustine's Past Students Union's 1998 Year Group (APSU '98) officially opened and turned over a four-unit, two-bedroom apartment complex.
The goal of the initiative is to make the school's accommodations more manageable.
The $250,000 fully equipped project was started to increase the number of instructors on school property to encourage and uphold discipline.
On Saturday, during St. Augustine's College's 93rd anniversary and Speech and Prize-Giving Day, the new story building was officially opened.
Strengthening the foundation that influences future generations was the theme of the event.
lasting effect
Samuel Nii Adjei Annang, the president of APSU '98, stated that the project wouldn't have been possible without suitable staff housing on the school's grounds.
"We want them to inspire the young men."
"We've come to the conclusion that exceptional kids result from motivating the professors," the man remarked.
He said that now that more instructors were assured housing on the school grounds, nightlife in particular would be carefully managed to prevent pupils from wandering off.
Gratitude
Henry Arthur-Gyan, the school's headmaster, remarked that, given its numerous advantages, the project was very important to him and other school stakeholders.
Several of our instructors must go every day to the school, even if they live as far away as Salt Pond, Elmina, and other places.
"We value this greatly, so," he continued.
In particular, he praised the college's "outstanding performance" in the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Test, which was one of their academic accomplishments (WASSCE).
According to the Ministry of Education's study of the 2022 WASSCE results, the institution had a pass percentage of 97.78%, which put it first in the Central Region and fourth overall in Ghana.
A former student of the school and founder and managing director of the financial technology platform Zeepay, Andrew Takyi-Appiah, claimed that creating a culture of entrepreneurs required not only the creation of the necessary infrastructure to support economic growth but also a fundamental shift in how young people view success.
He voiced concern about the excessive emphasis on "social validation," emphasizing that Ghana needed to invest in developing young people's capacity for original and useful thought.
He emphasized the need for using technology for everyday tasks like online bill payment, food delivery, and education.
positive outlooks
Justine Ivy Apawu, the Central Regional Director of Education, exhorted the students to put in a lot of effort in their studies to achieve academic success.
Brobbey Egya Yaw Nsuo, the senior prefect, made a request to the government and other stakeholders for funding to rebuild parts of the school's aging infrastructure, including the assembly hall.
