The Former D-G of GPHA now Technical Advisor to the Minister of Transport, Mr. Paul Asare Ansah has been honoured by the District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service for his immense contribution to the improvement of educational standards in Asuogyaman.

Presenting a citation to Mr. Ansah, at their end of year lunch reception at Senchi in Asuogyaman, the District Director of GES Madam Mavis Yirenkyi noted that his support helped to improve their performance from a score of 67.9% in 2017 to 73.1% in 2018. Similarly, the regional ranking improved significantly from 17th to 10th.

Madam Yirenkyi recalled that in 2017 and 2018 Mr. Ansah organized quiz competitions for the 7 Senior High Schools in Asuogyaman. In April last year, he sponsored the second mock exams for all the 1,730 BECE candidates.
