Ninety-three municipal and district directors of education or their representatives, including 53 deprived ones from across the country, converged at the Sunyani Jubilee Park in the Brong Ahafo Region to receive the keys to brand new Mahindra Double Cabin four wheel drive vehicles for their respective directorates of education.
The presentation of the vehicles, which are to facilitate the effective supervision of schools under their control, was part of a $2.519 million package the government is providing for about 140 districts in the country.
Ms Elizabeth Ohene, the Minister of State at the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports who made the presentation noted that lack of strict supervision of public educational institutions had led to the downward trend of education in the country.
Among those present at the ceremony were Mr Ato Essuman, a Member of the Council of Stateand Chief Director of the Ministry, Mr Bannerman Mensah, Director General of the GES and the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
