St. Monica’s Senior High School is in dire need of help to deal with the congestion of students.

The headmistress of the school, Dr Cynthia Asamoah Gyimah, speaking at the school’s 79th Speech and Prize-giving Day, called for government intervention.

This year’s Speech and Prize-giving Day was on the theme “Quality Education: Embracing a Dynamic and Holistic Approach for the 21st Century.”

With the school’s population being around 4,300, Dr Gyimah was firm on the need for infrastructure expansion and the reversion of the double-track system to single-track.

She cited the current assembly hall as an example that needed a massive renovation. She proposed the expansion of the assembly hall, which also doubles as a dining hall, to accommodate 4,000 students.

The headmistress also called for the construction of an 18-unit classroom block for the school to accommodate the number of students.

Dr Gyimah further commended the Old Girls Association for their unwavering support of their alma mater.
