Parents have been advised not to allow their children to follow them to farm, when they were sacked to collect school fees.
Mr. Amankwa said managers of private schools became worried when they saw children following their parents to farm, after being sent home to collect fees.
The head teacher said: ?You may see private schools doing business, but it is not all that lucrative in the remotest parts of the country,? adding that, ?because the poor farmer could not afford to pay our reduced fees?.
He noted that the fees are the main source of income for the schools and that if parents refused to settle for their children?s fees, it sometimes became difficult for the schools to employ qualified teachers, construct decent structures, and provide school buses for the children.
Mr. Amankwa appealed to parents to pay their children?s fees regularly and promptly.
He also appealed to the government to assist the less endowed private schools in their quest to promote teaching and learning.
He noted that; ?education itself is a process through which skills and knowledge are transmitted from generation to generation to enable society function and develop its potentials?.
He cautioned students to always stand for truth and honesty.
