DPSI Ghana Holds Maiden Open Day

DPSI has over the years also awarded scholarships to numerous brilliant but needy children, an initiative the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Basic and Secondary Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutum, was pleased with. He stated it in a speech read on his behalf.

The Deputy Education Minister intimated that the DPSI scholarship initiative tied up with the Ghanaian Government’s agenda of making education free and accessible to every child regardless of their status in society, adding that DPSI's holistic approach to education was commendable and worth imitating.

According to him, DPSI's holistic approach was in line with international best practices and that government has chosen DPSI as one of the model international schools in Ghana to learn from. He appealed to authorities of the school to forge close ties with Ministry of Education.

The principal of DPSI Ghana, David Raj, told the gathering that the school has, since its inception, strived for excellence in teaching and learning, saying "we strongly believe that being excellent is going the extra mile."

He added that DPSI has come a long way in establishing itself as one of the best schools in Ghana and that efforts have been made to position the school as a premium education institution on the map of West Africa.

According to him, the school has achieved several successes and awards from renowned local and global institutions like the British Council in Ghana.

Mr. Raj added that the school has strived to ensure that its students participate in major international learning competitions like the Southeast Asian Spelling Bee competition.

Sharing her experience about her days at DPSI, an alumnus of the school, Lily Editi, who is now studying Applied Mathematics at the University of Missouri, Colombia, United States, said: "my experience at DPSI was wonderful."

Ms. Editi who joined the school in 2013 from Nigeria and graduated in 2017, said DPSI has helped groomed her into a "fully mature" woman, recounting how DPSI's Principal, Mr Raj personally assisted her severally with her mathematics lessons.

Director of Education for Tema Metropolis, Margaret Asamoah, reading a speech on behalf of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, could not hide her excitement about DPSI's achievements and its state-of-the-art learning environment.

"DPSI has it all, I wish I were a child," the elated Education Director said at the ceremony attended by the founder of the Ghana Job Bank Day Initiative, Richard Ofori Atta.

According to her, DPSI's motto "Service Before Self" was vital for every institution one finds themselves.

"In every position we find ourselves, we must serve to be served," she said, adding that government shall support DPSI to uplift its image further.
