THE Member of Parliament for Salaga, Ibrahim Dey, has expressed concern over the high levels of moral decadence among the youth in the constituency and called for pragmatic measures to curb the growing phenomenon.
He, therefore, appealed to the chiefs, religious leaders and other stakeholders to join hands in mapping out measures to contain the situation which, he observed, had led to indiscipline and poor performance of pupils and students in schools.
Mr. Dey raised these concerns in Salaga after presenting some school items to the district education directorate to help improve teaching and learning in the area.
The items, which were purchased from his share of the MP’s common fund, included 20 computers and accessories, exercise books, mathematical sets and 15 sets of jerseys.
He also funded a 200 kilometre stretch street light project and made available 2,000 cutlasses and wellington boots to support agricultural activities in the district.
Mr. Dey noted that most of the students patronised entertainment joints such as discos and video centres instead of spending time on their books, leading to poor performance in their final exams and related social vices.
According to him, such abysmal performances over the years had now positioned the district among the lower ranks in the Basic Education Certificate Examination results table.
The MP further unveiled his plans to provide more infrastructure and motivation packages to teachers and urged parents to invest in their children’s education (particularly the girl-child).
This, the Salaga MP noted, would make the East Gonja District produce more scholars to contribute to the socio-economic development of the area.
Ms. Christine B. Tampie, the District Director of Education, commended the MP for his kind gesture and promised that the donation would be put to good use to achieve its intended purpose.
