The Headmaster of Tot To Teen School Limited, Mr Emmanuel Kwesi Quansah, has urged parents to guide their children in the best career choices.
According to him, failure by parents and guardians would end up in their children making wrong choices which would affect them in the future.
“Parents should desist from imposing careers on their children, but allow them to make their own choices with their guidance,” he added.
He gave the advice during the 2019 AU career day at Adentan in Accra on Friday where the pupil displayed uniforms of their choice.
The pupils portrayed themselves as experts in different professions by dressing up in the attire of doctors, police personnel, doctors, nurses, lawyers, policemen, judges and journalists.
The headmaster urged the pupils not to give up their dreams at all times and encouraged parents to invest in the education of their education stating that it was the only legacy a parent could leave for their children.
He said education made children to become responsible adults in the future.
Mr Quansah commended parents for their cooperation, especially for the provision of the attire worn by the pupils.
The Head of Public Relations of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Effia Tenge, in her remarks urged the pupils to take their education seriously to achieve their goals in becoming what they want in the future.
The Police PRO advised the pupils to be discipline and law abiding children.
In a related development, DSP Tenge advised parents not to upload vital information about their children on social media, saying that such practice exposed the children to criminals which endanger their lives.
She was sensitising the pupils on criminal activities of kidnappers, jointly organised by the Accra Regional Police Command in collaboration with Lexta Ghana Limited, producers of Yazz range of products, as part of activities to mark the day.
She called on the pupils not to accept gifts from strangers, adding “As pupils you must also be vigilant and report strange characters to school authorities for immediate action.”
The Head of Public Relations also reminded the pupils not to walk in isolated places and also advised them to walk in pairs, and added that parents must also endeavour to be extra vigilant on their children.
Mr Quansah commended the personnel of the command for the initiative and called for more of such collaboration.
He said it would go a long way to educate the pupils on the best practices.
As part of the occasion personnel from the command performed a sketch on kidnapping for the pupils.
