The District Minister of Adweso Trinity Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Eric Yeboah, has counselled Ghanaian youth, particularly the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates, that success is not readily accessible everywhere, urging them to persevere and work diligently to attain their goals.
Rev. Yeboah encouraged them to inspire others through their academic pursuits as they navigate their journey to the next level of education.
He also stressed that those undergoing vocational skills training should strive to excel, applying their skills to achieve their dreams, adding that with “hard work, resilience, and determination, their efforts will yield a brighter, more accessible future.”
Rev. Eric Yeboah was speaking at the 17th annual graduation and thanksgiving ceremony, honoring the 2025 batch of BECE candidates from Trinity Presbyterian Model School, located in Adweso, a suburb of Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
The theme for the celebration was “Celebrating The End Of One Chapter And The Start Of Another.” A total of 110 students, comprising 42 boys and 68 girls, sat for this year’s BECE.
Speaking further on the theme, Rev. Yeboah underscored the essence of graduation as a time of transition, growth, and possibility, and encouraged the students to be mindful of their family background and heritage, which should inspire them to excel and make their community proud.
He noted that their collective efforts would contribute to the promotion of sustainable development and societal progress and prayed for God intervention in the lives of these students’, by guiding them to study diligently, shun social vices, and continue to make their parents proud, adding that.
Rev. Yeboah expressed hope that students will take responsibility for protecting themselves and overcoming barriers to resist negative peer pressure, instead choosing to make positive choices that would impact their lives and society.
He cautioned them to be “aware of the pressures from friends, parents, family, loved ones, and society, and to make positive choices that would impact their lives.”
He acknowledged that life is not always fair, but urged the students to remain committed and determined to overcome the challenges they would face as they progress to the next stage of their educational journey.
He furthermore charged the students to devote their time and energy to their studies, as the future is bright due to the government’s commitment to uplifting the education sector through policies, interventions, and initiatives.
The Man of God commended parents, teachers, and government organizations for their tireless efforts in guiding students to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed.
On her part, the Headmistress of Trinity Presbyterian Model School, Mrs. Vivian Obuobisa-Darko, observed that the vision of the school’s founding fathers “to establish a quality public model school that stands the test of time” has not only been realized but has also exceeded expectations.
According to her, the theme aptly captures the essence of closure, reflection, and new beginnings, while the accompanying phrase “The Best Is Yet To Come” injects a sense of optimism and promise, inspiring hope and anticipation for a brighter future.
Mrs. Obuobisa-Darko proudly expressed the schools’ track record of maintaining academic excellence.
Trinity Presbyterian Model School, located in Adweso, with a population of over 1,000 pupils spanning Basic to Junior High School level, has achieved an impressive milestone, maintaining an unparalleled record of 100% pass rate in the BECE for the past two decades.
