MINISTER PRESENTS DUAL DESKS TO SCHOOLS ACROSS UPPER EAST 28TH JUNE, 2019


Upper East Regional Minister, Hon. Paulina Patience Abayage has given some life-blood to efforts geared at boosting teaching and learning in the region by presenting 200 pieces of dual desks to the Regional Directorate of the Ghana Education Service [GES] for onward distribution to schools across the region.

Hon. Abayage formally did the presentation at a brief ceremony at the Residency to the officers from the regional education directorate which was also witnessed by district directors of education. She said the presentation of the desks was her birthday gift to schools across the region, especially those that were in dire need of such educational logistics so as to help improve teaching and learning. Her birthday is in June and comes on the 30th day of the month.

She noted that as the main oversight body over schools in the region, the GES Director was better placed to select the beneficiary schools but appealed to the directorate to ensure that there was a fair distribution encompassing the East, Central and West zones of the region.

The Regional Minister also advised authorities at the user-schools to take good care of the furniture in order to prolong their life span. The day’s presentation comes on the back of similar donations of some other assorted items including food items and other household consumables to the Mother of Mercy Babies’ Home in Sirigu, Kassena-Nankana West district and the Mama Laadi’s Children’s Home in the Bolgatanga Municipality on the 26th and 27th June respectively.

Meanwhile, a Deputy Director in charge of Planning at the regional education directorate Mr. Abdul-Korah Razak received the desks on behalf of the schools and commended the minister for her intervention. He also expressed hope that more friends of the minister will continue to assist her so as to increase her support to cover more schools in the region.

Mr. Abdul-Korah observed that as a new academic year was just about arriving, the minister’s gesture would help in planning. 

However, a few more institutions may be benefiting from the regional minister’s givings as information gathered from sources close to her indicate that she also plans visiting the Navrongo War Memorial and the Bolgatanga Regional Hospitals’ children’s wards this Saturday and Sunday.
