No Short Dresses In Schools � Director

Mrs Jane Sabina Obeng, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Director of Education, has asked teachers and students to stop wearing short dresses in school. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Djankrom, a suburb of Nsawam in the Eastern Region, Mrs Obeng said it is about time females, especially the girl-child desist from putting on dresses that exposes some offensive parts of their bodies. She said girls must be proud of themselves by comporting themselves. Mrs Obeng called for cultural promotion in schools for students to become knowledgeable in their traditions, festivals and the history of the country. She advised the youth to shun sexual promiscuity, smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages that would ruin their future.
