The Sunyani Municipal Director of Education, Mr Mark Godfred Domah has explained that in bring­ing up children, it is also important to pay particular attention to character and behaviour development.

That, he said would achieve a holis­tic child education.

He said many a time, teachers focus so much on the development of the mind, neglecting other important fac­tors like behaviour and character.

This, he noted can be achieved through effective collaboration be­tween teachers, parents and the com­munity.

Mr Domah said this at the fifth graduation ceremony of three Garrison Kindergarten School at the Liberation Barracks, Sunyani in the Bono Region.

As part of activities to mark the day, the pupils treated guests with military drills by the school cadet, choreography and some recreational dances such as Gotha and Bima dances performed by the Ewe and Frafra people.

According to Mr Domah, educating school children were not limited to the school environment alone but other complementary roles played by parents and the community.

The headmistress of the school, Madam Veronica Azaanab said the school was working to build a Kinder­garten structure which is anchored on excellence and a well-motivated staff to nurture the future generation
