Charles Jow VP Hails Level of Discipline in School Wednesday, December 05, 2007 Mrs. Sukai Secka-Sagnia, the second Vice Principal of Charles Jow Memorial Academy, has described the level of discipline in her institution as impressive. Speaking to this reporter in her office yesterday, Mrs. Sagnia said the high level of discipline among the pupils of her school could be attributed to a combination of factors such as the efforts of the school in inculcating high values in students.

She concluded by calling on parents to join hands to inculcate discipline, not leave all for the teachers. “Discipline, Hard work and Achievement is our motto,” she stressed.
