Parental neglect driving poor academic performance in Ada

Asafoatsengua Senior Warlord of the Royal Adibiawer Clan of Ada, Asafoatsengua Buertey Okumko Obuampong IV, has expressed concern over the decline in academic performance among students in the Ada Traditional Area.
Asafoatsengua Obuampong attributed the situation largely to growing parental negligence and inadequate supervision of children in some communities.
He urged parents to take urgent steps to provide proper guidance for their wards and instil discipline, stressing that education remained a critical foundation for securing a better future.
The Asafoatsengua warned that without renewed commitment to education, the future development of Ada could be seriously undermined, noting that sustainable progress depended largely on a well-educated population.
He called on parents, teachers, and traditional authorities to collaborate and adopt effective strategies to strengthen discipline and academic standards within schools.
“When you are no more as a parent, your children must be able to carry on your legacy, but if you fail to raise them well, their future will be destroyed,” he asserted.
He appealed to the government to intervene with early policies and targeted programmes to address the challenges confronting education in the Ada Traditional Area and across the country.
