THERE was utter shock and disbelief at Asuogyaman in the Eastern region of Ghana during the week when a three-year-old kindergaten pupil confidently told the District Chief Executive (DCE) and his delegation during ‘my first day at school,’ visit that he aspired to become an armed robber in future to enable him become rich.
The shocking answer was a response to a question the DCE, Thomas Ampem Nyarko, asked the children regarding what they aspired to become in future.
When asked if he understood what armed robbers do, the KG pupil remained silent for some minutes, forcing the DCE to issue a directive to the guidance and counseling unit of the Ghana Education Service to take the pupil through counseling and send their report to his office for further action.
The DCE stated that the assembly would make sure that the pupil gets the best of support needed throughout his education to ensure that he grows to become a responsible citizen.
