Bibiani (WN/R) March, 24, GNA – The Bibiani–Anhwiaso–Bekwai Municipal Director of Education, Mrs. Mercy Emefa  Boateng, has called on parents to pay maximum attention  to their wards whiles at home.

She said learning was not only limited to the classroom, therefore, parents should ensure that children took their studies and household chores seriously, stressing, “This is not a play time or time to lose focus and compromise discipline.”

She asked parents to monitor  the movements of their children while at home, paying particular attention to the kind of friends they move with, what they eat and other peer activities they engage in to ensure that they do not contract the disease.
