Bo School's Thomas Conteh Commences Pan-African Exchange Program In Ghana

Thomas Conteh, a student from Bo School in Sierra Leone, has arrived at Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) to participate in the inaugural High Schools Africa Pan-African Educational Exchange Program.

The GSTS community extended a comprehensive and warm welcome to Thomas, with both students and staff ensuring a comfortable transition. 

The program is designed to connect students across the African continent to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, cultural perspectives, and experiences, thereby reinforcing educational and cultural alliances. GSTS, founded in 1909, is the host institution, while Bo School, established in 1906, is proudly represented by Thomas Conteh.

He was selected from a competitive pool of three students at Bo School to represent his institution and country in this significant exchange.

In a notable display of unity, the school performed the Sierra Leonean national anthem in his honor, an act that visibly impressed the visiting student. This reception effectively encapsulated the excitement and spirit of cooperation that this pioneering Pan-African initiative aims to cultivate.

Mr. Conteh's week-long stay at GSTS will involve exploring various academic offerings, cultural immersion activities, and the rich historical heritage of Ghana's Western Region. 

Mr. Conteh’s arrival and the subsequent reception mark the beginning of a valuable bilateral engagement between Ghana and Sierra Leone. This moment depicts the increasing commitment to Pan-African solidarity, illustrating how emerging young leaders across the continent can convene to exchange ideas, learn, and celebrate Africa’s shared cultural legacy.
