1,000 NEEDY PUPILS RECEIVE SCHOOL UNIFORMS (PAGE 11)

ABOUT 1,000 needy kindergarten and primary school pupils from 12 schools in the Tano North District in the Brong Ahafo Region have been presented with school uniforms by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for the Tano North Constituency, Mr Ernest Akubour Debrah, who is also the Minister of Food and Agriculture.
Mr Debrah, who was assisted by the District Chief Executive, Mr Anane Adjei, made the presentation at separate ceremonies.
The beneficiary pupils were from the Sereso, Koforidua, Twabidi, Susuaho, Bomoden, B.K.K. Camposo, Duayaw Nkwanta Presby A& B, Methodist, Anglican, Pentecost, Bomoden and Bredi schools.
Mr Debrah asked the children to be disciplined, obedient and respect their teachers and also be serious with their studies, since they were the future leaders of the country.
He also appealed to their teachers to exercise patience in their work and take good care of the pupils, adding that they should show commitment and dedication when handling the children.
The authorities of the school thanked the MP for the kind gesture and expressed the hope that the uninforms would boost the morale of the pupils to regularly attend school and study hard.
In another development, Mr Debrah has cut the sod to mark the commencement of the construction of a 100-capacity girls’ hostel at the Boakye Tromo Senior High School at Duayaw Nkwanta.
It is estimated at over GH¢45,000 and it will be financed from his share of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund).
Mr Debrah is providing support to 15 needy, brilliant students of the school.
