The District Chief Executive for Nadowli-Kaleo District in the Upper West Region Hon. Kathrine Lankono on Wednesday September 13, 2017 distributed some school items to pupils in some communities in the district as part of the "My first day at school" initiative.

At Omboo R/C Kindergarten School, the DCE, distributed some items to 11 children who were admitted this year.

She also distributed items to 5 children who were admitted into primary one at the Omboo R/C School.

The DCE stopped at Kaleo Buu and inaugurated a new kindergarten block for the community.

According to the DCE, she was happy to see 16 children admitted into KG1 at the Kaleo Buu Kindergarten on the first day of the school and added that parents should take advantage of the free Senior High School Policy introduced by the NPP government to educate their children.

The Free SHS program is a campaign promise by the New Patriotic Party that seeks to increase enrollment in schools by removing the burden of all major mandatory fees from parents and making it a responsibility of the government.

Some items distributed include soft drinks, biscuits, pencils bags and a pair of cross sandals.

Hon Katherine ended her tour at Sankana Junior High School where she inspected an on-going construction of a three unit class room block to commence the Sankana boarding Junior High School this year.
