  "summary": "In a bid to address Ghana's challenges and drive national development, the Abuakwa North Municipal Director of Education, Grace Adza-Wude, has urged students to take Science and Mathematics seriously. This call came after Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Nana Ampaw Kwame Addo-Frempong, donated laptops and cash to three senior high schools for participating in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ). The beneficiary schools, Bright Senior High School, Saviour Senior High School, and Ofori Panin Senior High School, received the support as part of an initiative aimed at encouraging students to develop a strong interest in Science and Mathematics. The MP also announced scholarship opportunities for students pursuing medical education, emphasizing the importance of supporting careers in science and medicine to motivate students academically and contribute to national development.",
