Teachers and education officers at the Adentan Municipal Education Directorate have been urged to continue to work harder in the coming years despite successes chalked up by the directorate in recent years.
The Municipal Education Director, Gifty Mussey, gave the charge at the directorate’s maiden Thanksgiving Dinner and Awards Night held at the Victory Presbyterian Church at Fafraha near Accra.
The dinner and awards night was organised purposely to celebrate and encourage facilitators and education officers in the municipality to work harder in subsequent years.
Ms Mussey said God had been good because in recent years, He had made the directorate to excel in various aspects of its academic endeavours.
They included inter-school quiz competitions, West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results, cultural competitions, best teacher awards and the elevation of about five officers to directors at different municipalities.
Some distinguished facilitators received a citation in honour of their outstanding performance in their respective circuits.
