Ms Fatima Alimohamed, Commercial Manager of Wilmar Africa Limited, has encouraged Ghanaian students not to learn under intense stress and pressure as it could have harmful effect on their health.
She proposed that school children rather pay attention in class, and learn concept by concept at a regulated interval to avoid unnecessary pressure especially during examination periods.
The Commercial Manager of Wilmar Africa, producers of frytol, was speaking at a ceremony to honour students who participated in the frytol sponsored essay competition on the Importance of Vitamin A and Personal Hygiene for basic schools in the Western Region.
Ms Alimohamed gave an example of an international school student who died some few days ago in the nation’s capital due to intense pressure to learn and pass his terminal exams.
The Essay Competition is a brain child of Golden Mother’s Vision International, an NGO which seeks to empower women and vulnerable children through skills training, soft loans and educational assistance.
Ms Natasha Hayford Mensah, Executive Director of the NGO said quality education is paramount to the development of the future generation and thus children particularly the needy must be supported to unearth their God given potentials.
Ms Saunatu Abdulai Tuferu of the Madarasatul Ebadu-Rahmaa Arabic School emerged the Regional Winner.
