Kwadaso Municipal Assembly supports fresh SHS students with chop boxes, mattresses

The Kwadaso Municipal Assembly in the Ashanti Region of Ghana recently provided assistance to over 200 newly admitted Senior High School (SHS) students. The support included essential boarding items such as chop boxes, student mattresses, and trunks to alleviate the financial burden on parents. This initiative was presented at a brief ceremony held at the Assembly's premises, with Mr. Eric Asibey, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), making the presentation.

According to Asibey, the gesture aims to ensure inclusive and equitable access to quality education for all students, even though the Free Senior High School policy has covered major costs like tuition and feeding, many parents still find it challenging to provide basic boarding necessities for their children. The MCE emphasized that education remains a top priority for the municipality, and his team will continue to invest in young people as future leaders of the country.

Mr. Clifford Henaku Budu, the Acting Municipal Director of Education, commended the MCE and the Assembly for the timely intervention, stating that it will motivate students to focus on their studies and excel academically. The beneficiaries and their parents expressed profound gratitude for the support, and assured that the Assembly will continue to collaborate with the Education Directorate to improve educational outcomes in the municipality.
