He further intimated We Yone of work done so far in the construction of the building, adding it has been a major challenge to the meagre financial resources of the institution. “Most of the school subsidies is expended on the construction and considering the cost of building materials, it has been a daunting task for my administration.” He disclosed, while appreciating the cooperation of the Board headed by its Chairman in the personality of the seasoned and outstanding Educationist, Mr. Sylvester Meheux, staff of the school and the CTA. According to Principal S.S, MBSSE needs to be methodical in treating list of pupils for payment of school subsidies. “The fact that repeaters are allowed to re-sit BECE as well as WASSCE invariably is responsible for the high roll of entrants,” he disclosed, while appealing for the payment of subsidies on timely basis.
