Akumadan (Ashanti), Nov. 12, GNA – The Offinso North District branch of the Conference of Heads of Basic Schools (COHBS) in the Ashanti Region has held sporting activities to foster unity among the teachers in the district.Â
The branch in collaboration with the Offinso North District Educational Workers Welfare Association organised the day’s sporting event at Akumadan, the district capital with teachers’ teams drawn from six circuits participating in football gala and indoor games.
They comprised the Nkwaakwaa, Nsenua, Nkenkensu, Akumadan “A”, Akumadan “B” and Afrancho Circuits and at the games, Nkenkensu circuit was adjudged the overall best circuit and received a trophy for its prize.
The Offinso North District Education Directorate football team also beat the COHBS football team to pick the trophy in the football gala.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of the closing session of the sporting event, Mr Peter Kwadwo Anorchie, the Offinso North District Chairman of COHBS said the event was the first of its kind to be organised in the district.
Besides physical exercise, he said the event also aimed at bringing the teachers together for socialization as well as strengthening the bond of unity among them.
He said it was always difficult for the teachers spread across the circuit to socialize due to distant barriers, assuring that the event would be organised periodically.
Mr Martin Addo Fordjour, the Offinso North District Director of Education, lauded the participants for the level of discipline and the impressive turnout and commended the organisers, describing the event as laudable.Â
