speaking to hello fm Rexkin Ohene Boateng, noted with concern that the school administration and the entire body of the year group were not working together as expected and this remains a big challenge in helping to undertake infrastructural projects for their alma mater. However, efforts have been made henceforth to provide support for their former childhood institution.
The action of the Alumni reflects strong response to governments’ clarion call for stakeholders to assist schools as it cannot tackle all the challenges alone due essentially to inadequate resources.
But most importantly, the old students embark on the assistance schemes as strategies to give back to society that has so blessed them, laying their foundation of successes at their alma maters.
Teachers and Pupils at Tafo Methodist JHS over the years have expressed concern about the poor nature and lack of basic equipment hindering the school progress.
The Ag. Headmaster for JHS ‘A’, Mr. Johnson Osei has appealed to government through the Tafo Municipal Assembly to provide the school with modern basic infrastructure to enhance good teaching and sound learning.
According to the Ag. school head, infrastructure such as computers and it’s peripherals to equip their ICT centre, Teachers and pupils table and chairs for learning and security fence wall around the school have been a major challenge bedeviling the school for many years making teaching and learning uncomfortable.

He also asked the alumni to frequently visit the alma mater which will also motivate the students to study well.
