AGOSA 84/85 groups refurbish science laboratory
The 1984 and 1985-year groups of Accra Girls Old Students Association (AGOSA) have handed over a refurbished chemistry laboratory to the Ghana Education Service.
Themed ‘Her Science- Her future- Her Impact,’ the gesture was to motivate and support their alma mater.
The newly refurbished lab is expected to boost science learning in the school and offer students’ access to fully functional lab facilities for their practical lessons.
The newly refurbished science laboratory has a sink, laboratory apparatus, free flow of water and a neatly tiled floor and material to aid experiments.
The president of the group, Linda Adjoa Holdsbrook-Amissah, in handing over the facility to the GES, said the newly-refurbished chemistry lab was a significant asset in advancing science knowledge, training skilled professionals and contributing to the nation’s development.
“The place was in a very poor state, so I reached out to old students, friends and loved ones to raise funds. I’m very happy we were able to make it happen, because this will help improve students’ understanding of science,” she said.
She thanked all who contributed in cash and kind to make the project possible and urged the students to take good care of the facility.
The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, praised the old students for their dedication and selfless contribution to their former school and described the gesture as inspiring and a clear example of the positive impact old students can make.
“But for this group to not only remember the school but also invest in such a key area like science education shows their deep commitment to national development.”
He encouraged other old students of various schools to emulate the AGOSA 84/85 group.
The Head of the Science Department, Mr Victor Klevor, said the gesture was a great motivation for the teachers and learners and will most importantly help students improve their academics in science and maths.
He added that the initial state of the facility made it difficult for the students to do practicals because there was no gas, water and even apparatus for experiments.
The Greater Accra Regional Director of Education, Hajia Katumi Natogmah Attah, expressed hope that with the new facilities, students would now have a better learning experience.
