The Proprietress of New Vision Montessori School at Oduman in the Ga West Municipality, Mrs Vera Ohui Ankrah, has urged students to combine academic excellence with integrity and discipline to enable them to become responsible leaders and contribute meaningfully to national development. She said education should not be measured solely by academic performance but also by the character, values and conduct of learners. “It is reflected in how we conduct ourselves, protect our integrity and relate to other people,” Mrs Ankrah stated. The Proprietress noted that New Vision Montessori School was committed to nurturing learners who were rooted in conscience, self-discipline, empathy and accountability, adding that academic excellence without strong character was incomplete. Mrs Ankrah expressed appreciation to parents and guardians for their unwavering support and sacrifices, particularly their financial commitment towards their children’s education.
