Let's support our NSMQ teachers

All;
The consistent performance of PRESEC in the annual National Maths and Science Quiz (NSMQ) competition has elevated the school, your Alma Mater, to the upper echelons of secondary education in Ghana (The only 5 time winner of the competition). The ingredients for this success can be found in the quality of the student pool at Presec and more cardinally, the faculty/teachers, who are responsible for coaching, preparing and mentoring the students who represent the school at the annual competition.

This selfless and dedicated group of teachers with the support of the headmaster organizes coaching sessions for the contestants at their own cost and on their own time to ensure the winning streak Presec has enjoyed in the prestigious competition.

As you can imagine, these teachers are poorly remunerated but their extreme affection for the school and their students in the face of poor working conditions and unsustainable salaries is a case study in focus, forbearance, altruism and dedication to their craft and PRESEC.

As a way of giving back to the school which is responsible for your success in life today, I suggest that we organize a fund raising drive to collect money for the teachers who are responsible for preparing the students for the annual NSMQ.

This initiative will show our appreciation for the important work this group of teachers is doing to elevate the status of our dear Alma Mater to stratospheric heights.

If you are moved to encourage the above referenced teachers to continue to perform their winning formula for PRESEC, please send a check to me at the address below.

The funds will be managed in a transparent manner and I will ensure that the total amount collected will be received by this wonderful group of teachers. I will also circulate a list of contributors to the group.

I start the ball rolling by contributing $100 to the NSMQ teachers at PRESEC

Please feel free to make any suggestions that will enhance this initiative and forward this posting to all Odadees you are in contact with.

Hopefully, this initiative will light a Promethean Fire in Odadees and shake us out of our apathy and lethargy. It will also encourage the teachers to intensify their efforts and ensure that the NSMQ becomes the exclusive preserve of PRESEC.

Please send any contribution for the PRESEC NSMQ teachers to
