Mfantsiman Girls' Senior High School Headmistress Phyllis Arthur-Simpson has requested assistance to retool the school's science and information technology (ICT) labs in order to improve academic success.
She said that the school had excelled in a number of computer-required subjects. She was concerned about the computer lab, though, noting that it was "a horrible sight" and that there wasn't even a single desktop computer for the pupils to use.
She said that, despite some benefactors providing the school with a few computers, they were insufficient given the number of children there.
At the school's 63rd anniversary address and prizegiving day, Mrs. Arthur-Simpson made the announcement.
The 1998-year group of the Mfantsiman Old Girls Association (MOGA 98) sponsored the event this year, which had as its topic "Re-positioning Mfantsiman Girls for academic excellence: The role of stakeholders."

Mrs. Arthur-Simpson also mentioned that the school's science lab needed some updating and urged for the creation of a cutting-edge lab for the institution.
She also requested funding for a school fence to safeguard the pupils and stop future encroachment on the school's property, as well as for the procurement of classroom equipment to supplement the ones already in use by the students.
She said that the school's pitch was in terrible condition and that, despite the sports team's commendable performance, they would do better with better facilities.
Moreover, she demanded that progress be accelerated on a government-initiated dormitory block that had stopped.
She praised former pupils for their varied forms of support for the institution.

In a speech, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a deputy minister of education, said that Mfantsiman Girls had worked hard over the years to establish itself as one of the top institutions in the nation, producing some of the best ladies.
He exhorted the school's graduates to put even more effort into redefining what the female child represented so that they would resist fitting into the conventional stereotype and instead climb up, shatter glass ceilings, and challenge the status quo.
The Deputy Minister said that in order to guarantee that individuals fulfill their potentials in life, the government has eliminated structural and financial hurdles by increasing access to high-quality education.
