Second-cycle schools in the Upper West Region have re-opened after government released funds \u00a0for the payment of feeding grants.<\/p>\n
A visit to some schools in the region by Citi News’<\/strong> Latif Mahama, including Wa Senior High School, T. I. Ahmadiyya and Wa Secondary Technical institute, revealed that \u201cteaching and non-teaching staff had all reported to work.\u201d<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”MWFqKYbdj4KofY4GMb7jPHPngN9Q4uFn”]According to the headmaster of the Wa Technical \u00a0Institute, students of the school had begun arriving for the start of the term.<\/p>\n \u201cAcademic work for the second term of the 2016\/2017 Academic year has resumed in earnest and I say this on authority. As at yesterday, we had a number of students who came in and we allowed them to sleep in their dormitories. This morning I met a couple of students walking into campus. This was queer because we don\u2019t normally have students coming early in the morning on re-opening day and I believe they are very eager,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
