The Nyanoa Circuit Supervisor, Mr Emmanuel Teinor commended the performance of teachers and the pupils for the increase in the school enrolment and appealed to the education directorate to reduce the congestion in the school.
Mr Eric Amofa, the headmaster of the school, called for collaboration among stakeholders and support for the school children.
