The Keta Municipal Girls’ Education Coordinator, Aurelia Tudzi, has encouraged pupils of OLA R/C Convent Girls Basic School to recognise their God-given potential and pursue their dreams with confidence, as part of activities marking International Women’s Day.
Miss Tudzi made the call on Thursday, March 18, 2026, when she addressed pupils in the school’s hall during a programme organised to commemorate the annual celebration, observed globally on March 8. The event formed part of the school’s local observance of the 2026 theme, “Give To Gain.”
In her address, she emphasised the importance of investing in the girl-child through education, respect and equal opportunities, noting that such investments yield long-term benefits for families, communities and the nation.
“Education remains one of the most powerful tools for transforming the life of a girl and securing a better future for society,” she said, urging the pupils to remain focused on their studies and to rise above any limitations that may hinder their progress.
Miss Tudzi also encouraged the girls to support one another and foster a culture of mutual respect, stressing that inclusive development requires collective effort. “The success of girls does not diminish others; rather, it strengthens our shared human dignity and collective progress,” she added.
She further reminded the pupils of their unique worth and abilities, encouraging them to nurture their talents not only for personal advancement but also for the good of society and the Church.
The programme highlighted the need to sustain efforts that promote girl-child education within the Keta Municipality and empower young girls to grow into responsible and confident leaders.
Established in 1912 by the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles, OLA R/C Convent Girls Basic School remains one of the oldest Catholic basic schools in the municipality. The school is currently managed by the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church under the Keta-Akatsi Diocese, and continues to provide holistic education rooted in Catholic values.
Over the years, the school has produced several distinguished women who have contributed significantly to national life, including former First Lady Theresa Kufuor.
The event formed part of the school’s broader efforts to nurture disciplined, confident and God-fearing young women prepared to serve both Church and society.
