EC Organises Elections For Bibiani SDA JHS To Elect Prefects

It was fun as the Bibiani District Electoral Commission (EC) on Thursday 27 June,2024 conducted elections to elect school perfects for Bibiani Seventh Day Adventist School.

The Head of School, Mr Samuel Obeng Opoku, said the era where teachers pick pupils to be in charge of positions has become outdated since the pupils needed to be involved in the process of selecting their leaders.

Mr Opoku said this will enable them to hone their skills of public speaking, confidence and also teach them the ability to compete.

He said there are processes that must be followed before a pupil is allowed to stand for election.

He said: “There is a nomination form, which they collected.

“They fill and submit it with their manifestoes.

“They do their campaigns.

“Some move around the classes and assembly grounds canvassing for votes and support from their colleagues.

Mr Opoku also said teachers try as much as possible not to be partisan in the “political process”.
