A Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) teacher, who Appiah said was recently posted to the school, was also recognised with a GH2 airtime prize package in a special category for punctuality.
The PTA chairman, William Kwabena Sefawas, is reported to have said that the award scheme is his initiative to encourage teachers in the school to give off their best and also boost the quality of teaching and learning in school.
He said even though the prizes he gave out were not expensive, it was a good start and called on the Ministry of Education to give incentives to teachers in less endowed communities to boost their morale.
