The Principal of the Holy Child College of Education, Mrs Margaret Lemaine, has said teachers are the catalyst for achieving academic excellence, moral integrity and social justice.
She said, “People are becoming more and more irresponsible in their ways, so there is a need for our training colleges to promote good moral behaviour among students who are being trained to be teachers,” she noted.
Mrs Lemanie said this at the matriculation of the school at the week end.
She urged students to inculcate discipline and high moral standards in the students in order to make them achieve academic excellence and be well-balanced individuals.
Mrs Lemaine advised the students to broaden their intellectual horizons, adding that “teachers are seen by the outside world to know everything. Thus, they should be curious as “teachers-to be”.
Mrs Margaret also stated that out of the 230 students who applied, only 190 of them got admission due to infrastructual constraint. She was, however, hopeful of an increase, come next academic year.
Monsignor Andreas Ghansa, who delivered a message on behalf of the Most Rev. John Martin Darko, observed that women played an important role in the education of children, so they should, as female teachers, show them love since children assimilate what they are taught.
