Now time for work to be done and work indeed has already started. We want to ensure the best quality education to our students. So I’m calling on civil society organizations, corporate institutions, and government to join us in our mission.”
He also indicated that the initiative is one of a series of projects to be undertaken in the Ga community including the refurbishment of the popular Salaga Market and the Sempe cluster of Schools.

No Child, no boy, no girl will be left behind,” he reiterated.
