Amansie South: The Amansie South District Assembly handed over 800 dual desks to basic schools in the district as part of efforts to enhance teaching and learning. This intervention forms part of the Assembly's ongoing commitment to addressing the longstanding issue of inadequate furniture in public schools.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Benjamin Marfo, the District Chief Executive (DCE), at a brief ceremony to present the desks, reaffirmed the Assembly's dedication to creating a more conducive learning environment for every child in the district. 'Our children are future leaders, and it is our responsibility to equip them with the necessary tools to succeed. This donation is not just about desks but fostering an environment that inspires both pupils and teachers,' Mr. Marfo stated.
He also called on school authorities to take good care of the furniture to ensure its durability and encouraged parents to actively support their children's education.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Amansie South District Education Directorate, Mr. Joseph Kingsley Adu, Deputy Director in charge of Supervision and Monitoring, expressed deep appreciation to the Assembly for the timely intervention. He noted that many schools in the district have long grappled with severe shortages of classroom furniture, often compelling pupils to sit on the floor or share limited desks. He said the donation would significantly improve pupil comfort and focus during lessons.
'We are extremely grateful for this support. It comes at a critical time when most of our schools are in desperate need of desks. This gesture will undoubtedly enhance classroom management and academic performance,' Mr. Adu remarked. He further appealed to other stakeholders and development partners to emulate the Assembly's example by contributing to the educational development of the district.
