He said for the past month, Lead Connect Global had embarked on a voluntary teaching outreach in some communities across the Municipality including Wli Todzi, Wli Agoviefe, Fodome Hloma, Fodome Ahoe and Gbledi Gborgame.
Mr Afeku said the experience had been humbling and inspiring since despite some challenges, there was the eagerness and resilience of the learners as well as commitment of their teachers.
He said Bright Wondowtech Limited’s partnership with Lead Connect Global dated back to 2022 and together, had championed impactful programmes such as “A Talk with the Experts,” with a visit to Senior High Schools to inspire students, broaden their horizons and ignite their ambitions.
Mr Afeku said the quiz competition was another milestone in their shared vision of fostering academic excellence, critical thinking, and healthy competition among the bright young minds of Hohoe.
Mr Victor Kwaku Kovey, Hohoe Municipal Education Director, said the competition showcased the best and good performance of learners.
He commended the Organisers for choosing the Municipality for the competition that would add up to the continuous learning process for learners.
Mr Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, Hohoe Constituency Member of Parliament (MP), noted that he was committed to improvement in the education outcomes of the Constituency.
He said there was a proposal for the construction of 20 ICT centres across the Constituency as well as putting up staff quarters in some areas to motivate teachers.
Mr Tsekpo said an award scheme was also proposed for the teachers to create competition among them adding that while there would be competition among learners, same would be among their teachers as well to help improve quality education in the Constituency.
