APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT

     The National Chairman of Ghana Muslim Mission, Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu, has expressed worry about infrastructure challenges confronting the Ghana Muslim Mission Senior High School at Beposo in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti. He said since the institution became a public assisted Senior High School in 2013 with the total student population of 800, it cannot boast of basic infrastructural facilities such as dormitories, staff accommodation, dining and assembly halls and a bus. These challenges, Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu noted have impeded the growth of the school and appealed to the government, benevolent organizations and especially well-meaning Muslims to lend support in this direction. Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu expressed the sentiment at the handing over of a girls’ dormitory and a classroom building project for the school at Beposo. The girls’ dormitory was built by the Ghana Muslim Mission Women Fellowship, while the classroom building project was undertaken by an Islamic philanthropic organization known as Assam’a Wal Bassar Foundation. The occasion coincided with a fund raising for the establishment of science laboratory for the school. Sheikh Dr. Aminu Bonsu said notwithstanding the challenges facing the school, discipline and high academic excellence exhibited by the institution continue to attract many students. This, according to Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu, makes it imperative for measures to be undertaken to address the school’s infrastructure deficit. The Headmaster of the school, Umar Mudassiru said though the school is an Islamic mission institutions, a sizeable number of the student population are Christians and are allowed to practice their faith on Saturdays and Sundays without hindrance.  He announced plans by the PTA to construct a six unit classrooms block, while the school is to benefit from the Government Secondary Education Improvement project.
