By his exemplary performance, Mr Martin Parker, who teaches Mathematics and Science, was able to change the nagative attitude of his pupils towards the subjects such that they eventually scored high marks when they sat for the 2013 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). In recognising his effort, Mr Parker was rewarded with a package, including a laptop to encourage him. Speaking to the Daily Graphic after a short presentation ceremony in Tema, the headmaster of the school, Mr Richard Mensah, recounted the extra effort, dedication and commitment Mr Parker exhibited in teaching the subjects and said that his efforts helped build up the pupils’ confidence and interest in the subjects. He noted that all students registered in the last BECE obtained good grades which facilitated their admission to senior high schools of their choice. He expressed the hope that the gesture would inspire other teachers to work harder to ensure good academic standards. The Head Pastor of Mazon Grace Church, Pastor Humphrey Ross, who supervises the school, encouraged all the teachers to do more this year to help the school chalk up a 100 per cent distinction in the BECE. http://graphic.com.gh/news/education/16809-school-honours-best-teacher.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
