Tarkwa Municipality to soon get an Under-12 team

Tarkwa, March 10 GNA - The Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Director of Education, Mrs Catherine Amuasiwaa Davis has said that plans are far advanced for the District to produce a juvenile team of under 12 lads compete for international laurels.

Mrs Davis said this has become necessary following the discovery of a large pool of untapped skills among children in the Municipality. The Municipal Director of Education said this in interview with GNA Sports at Tarkwa after the close of a Kindergarten Association Football (KAF) event. Mrs Davis said sinc e children have several potentials they need to be identified and developed for the benefit of society and the children's future career.

She said the game of football and other sporting events are not only recreational but assists to sharpen the skills and instil discipline among the youth and its importance in the educational curricular can therefore not be over emphasised.

Mrs Davis said with the exception of the Mediema football club in the area, there is no juvenile club targeted at children's well being and there was therefore the need to organise a number of local children from schools within the municipality to groom them to develop their talents. "We need to identify children, sponsor and support them with educational opportunities while at the same time developing their natural gifts" she stressed.

The Saint Mary's Anglican Kindergarten at New Atuabo emerged the overall winner in the competition organised for over 14 kindergarten schools in the Municipality. Goldfields School Complex emerged second with the third position going to Brahabebom Local Authority School. The schools were presented with certificates of participation, toiletries. 10 March 10
