Assembly member, NGO donate to school

Mr Love Alister, assembly member of Amasaman Electoral Area in Ga West Municipality, and G-Club, a community-based organisation, have jointly donated educational materials to Amasaman Junior High School.

Presenting five plastic dustbins, five white marker boards and 150 pieces of mathematical sets worth GHC6, 000.00 to the school at a brief ceremony recently, Mr Charles Turkson, leader of the organisation, said his outfit was determined to partner with stakeholders to promote quality education in the area.

"G-Club would continue to work with stakeholders to promote education in this area. We are also grateful to the honourable assembly member for his unflinching support to education in this electoral area. Actually, the dustbins and mathematical sets are from him", he stated.

Mr Love Alister, on his part, urged parents and stakeholders to come to the aid of the school, adding, "Teachers cannot do it all alone. They need our support, as parents and partners, for more quality education for our kids. My doors are always open for partnership and sponsorship in the execution of programmes and projects that are needed to raise the standards of education in this area".

Mr Charles Wormenor, the head teacher, who received the items on behalf of the school, expressed gratitude for the gesture and appealed for more support for the school.

Mr Anthony KwakuAmoah, a public relations officer of the Ghana Education Service, urged teachers and school heads to ensure that school supplies and instructional materials are used for the purposes for which they have been given.

"Just give the books and materials out to the pupils for them to use in their studies instead of locking them up in stores and boxes. What our pupils need is proper monitoring, guidance and motivation for them to make good use of their time towards success", he said.
