Support to Schools in Tarkwa Nsuaem: The Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly, together with the local Member of Parliament, has provided essential furniture to schools in the area. This support is aimed at improving the learning environment for students and ensuring they have the necessary resources to succeed.
Key Takeaway to Support To Schools in Tarkwa Nsuaem
- The donation of furniture to schools in Tarkwa Nsuaem aims to improve learning conditions and support the success of the Free Senior High School programme.
Helping Schools with Essential Furniture
In a bid to enhance the quality of education, the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly has donated a range of furniture to several schools in the municipality. This gesture is part of the Assembly’s ongoing efforts to improve education facilities for both students and teachers.
The Tarkwa Senior High School received 100 bunk beds to accommodate more students in the dormitories. This is particularly important given the increase in student numbers due to the Free Senior High School programme. The Nursing and Midwifery Training College in Tarkwa also received 300 tables and chairs, which will help students during their lectures and practical lessons.
Additionally, the Municipal Education Directorate was given 240 teacher’s tables and chairs to distribute among schools, ensuring that teachers have a comfortable working environment.
Finally, 40 hexagonal tables and chairs were provided to improve the seating arrangements in some classrooms, offering a better learning experience for younger students.
Funding and Support for Education
This generous donation was made possible through funds from three different sources: the Assembly’s Internally Generated Fund (IGF), the Minerals Development Fund (MDF), and the District Assembly’s Common Fund (DCAF).
These funds are set aside to support community projects, and improving education is a high priority for the Tarkwa Nsuaem Assembly.
The items were officially handed over by Mr Benjamin Kessie, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), and Mr George Mireku Duker, the Member of Parliament for Tarkwa Nsuaem constituency. Both leaders have shown a strong commitment to education in the area and want to ensure that students and teachers have the resources they need to succeed.
Meeting Promises and Fulfilling Needs
At the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Mr George Mireku Duker, who is also the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, stated that the donation fulfilled a promise he made to the school.
He explained that he had spoken with the Principal of the college, who shared the challenges the school was facing. As a result, the government decided to step in and help. Mr Duker assured the school that more support would be provided in the future to help it become a model institution in the area.
“We know the challenges you face,” Mr Duker said. “We are a listening government, and we will continue to support the school so that it can be admired by others in the future.”
Supporting Growth in Education
Mr Benjamin Kessie, the Municipal Chief Executive, added that this donation was intended to help students feel more comfortable in their classrooms and dormitories.
He emphasised that when students have a better learning environment, they are more likely to focus and study hard. Mr Kessie also noted that the increase in student numbers, caused by the Free Senior High School programme, has put extra pressure on school facilities. However, as local leaders, they are committed to supporting schools in the area to ensure the programme’s success.
The Free Senior High School programme was introduced by the government to make education more accessible to all students, regardless of their financial background.
While this has led to a surge in enrolment, it has also created a need for more resources, such as furniture and classroom space. The Tarkwa Nsuaem Assembly is working to meet these needs through donations like this one.
Gratitude from the Schools
Madam Catherine Biney, the Municipal Education Director, expressed her gratitude to the Assembly and the MP for their support. She acknowledged that the donated items would have a direct and positive impact on the students, making it easier for them to learn in a more comfortable environment.
Madam Biney also urged the schools to take good care of the furniture to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
The Vice Principal of the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Madam Patience Asare, also thanked the donors. She said the new tables and chairs would greatly benefit the students and help them during their studies. The school has been growing, and this donation will go a long way in supporting that growth.
Conclusion
The donation of furniture to schools in Tarkwa Nsuaem is a clear demonstration of the Assembly’s and MP’s commitment to improving education in the area. By providing bunk beds, desks, tables, and chairs, they are helping to create a better learning environment for students and teachers alike.
This support is particularly important as the Free Senior High School programme continues to increase enrolment in local schools. With more donations like this, the Tarkwa Nsuaem community can expect to see continued improvements in education.
