Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has
commissioned a Digital Repository Centre for the Wesley Girls Senior High
School in Cape Coast in memory of his late mother, Hajia Mariama Bawumia, a
former student.
The facility, funded by
the Vice President, would enable the school to retrieve its past and present
records digitally with ease.
“For an academic
institution the size of Wesley Girls’ High School, and with its rich 187-year
history, the repository will prove to be a worthy asset, as it will help past
students, current students and staff retrieve important records of the school
digitally and with ease,” the Vice President said.
“As a result of the project, all student records have been
digitised and can be easily accessed at the touch of a button.”
Dr Bawumia said he was
honoured by the presence of three of his late mother’s classmates during the
outdooring of the facility – Mrs Nancy Thompson, Dr Mrs Cecelia Bentsi, and Dr
Mrs Matilda Papoe.
He was hopeful that all
other educational institutions yet to have a digital repository would soon have
them to digitise their precious records.
