Speaking at the ceremony, popular Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin, who is the owner of the school, commended his first batch for the hard work they put in as they successfully wrote the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
He was elated to give young ones the opportunity to experience the best education as he dropped out of school at a young age.

Mr. David Oppong, the Acting Ashanti Regional Director of Education, praised the Ghanaian actor for his significant contributions to the education sector.”The Education Ministry is happy with what you are doing, but I urge you to do more as you provide quality education to the Ghanaian child.

“That is why the government, through the Ministry of Education and its affiliated agencies, is embarking on massive educational reforms to enable the country to achieve the economic transformation we are all yearning for,” he said.
