The Kwadaso Municipal Chief Executive, Eric Assibey has officially handed over 230 dual desks and 60 sets of teachers’ tables and chairs to the Municipal Education Directorate.

He stated that it was his hope to see a drastic decline in the desk deficit in schools in the are in the shortest possible time.

 

He assured that subsequent tranches are planned, with the goal of resolving at least 70% of the desk shortage in basic schools in the municipality.

 

Mr. Eric Assibey called on the headteachers to take responsibility for ensuring the newly acquired desks are properly maintained and taken care of.

 

He said the government’s commitment to continuously improve and deliver quality education in the country has led to significant improvements in educational infrastructure in the municipality.

 

Louis Boakye, the Deputy Director of Finance and Administration, received the desks on behalf of the Education Directorate and expressed deep gratitude to the government for its support in boosting educational standards in the municipality.

 

He indicated that though the deficit of desks in schools in the Municipality was huge, there has been a significant improvement through the assistance of the Assembly.

 

Mr. Boakye also expressed hope in the delivery of the next batch of desks for onward distribution to schools within the Municipality.

 

The initial shipment of desks will be distributed to 9 out of the 34 basic schools in the area, specifically targeting Nyankyerenease Methodist Primary A and B, Service Basic, and Prempeh Basic C, all part of the Kwadaso Circuit.
