Hohoe (V/R), July 13, GNA – Mr Prosper Kumi, the Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has presented mono desks to schools in the Municipality to enhance teaching and learning.
The 1,600 desks presented to 40 schools were funded by the District Assemblies Common Fund’s component for furniture.
Mr Kumi said the presentation was accountable for the judicious use of the Fund and additionally, procurement had been done for tables and chairs for kindergarten learners of about 12 schools.
Mr Kumi said the provision of tables and chairs for teachers was also under consideration while plans were being made for the provision of modern cupboards for schools, to keep learning materials safe.
He said the Assembly would ensure conveying of the desks to the beneficiaries to take away the costs involved in the schools moving them on their own.
Mr Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, the Hohoe Constituency Member of Parliament (MP), said without a conducive environment, education would not thrive.
He said the donation was a little support to augment challenges facing teaching and learning to improve outcomes.
Mr Tsekpo said issues affecting teachers would be addressed, to enable them to effectively deliver on their mandates.
Mr Newton Darkey, the Hohoe Constituency Chairman, National Democratic Congress (NDC), called on the Heads of beneficiary Schools to ensure proper maintenance of school infrastructure especially the furniture.
Mr Kafui Bosso, the Municipal Deputy Director, Finance and Administration, on behalf of the Hohoe Municipal Director of Education, expressed gratitude for the donation.
He said the donation was the largest received which would solve the infrastructure challenges in the Municipality.
Mr Bosso said the donation would be a propelling factor for the Directorate to improve educational outcomes.
