Chief donates furniture to Assin Jakai D/A Basic School

The Chiefs and people of Assin Jakai have donated furniture to Assin Jakai D/A Basic A and B School to enhance teaching and learning.

The 57 dual desks funded by Nana Owodo Aseku X, Chief of Assin Jakai, and Assin Praso known in public life as Nana Dr Kobina Erbynn, are aimed at improving facilities in the Assin Jakai D/A Basic A and B School.

Presenting the items to the school, Nana Aseku said inadequate furniture in the school had contributed to low attendance, hence his decision to provide the desks to augment the furniture deficit in the school.

Nana Aseku said he realised that despite the shortage of furniture, the few left were broken and does not promote a congenial atmosphere for learning.

He told the Ghana News Agency, in an interview that quality education should not be compromised for anything because knowledge acquisition was power.

Nana indicated that once the pupils were empowered with the requisite knowledge, they will in the future, support the growth and development agenda of the Central Regional and help in national development.

Mr Joseph Arhin the headmaster of Assin Jakai Basic School was grateful for the kind gesture and assured that they would be put to good use.

He said the furniture would reduce the pressure in the classrooms as pupils had to share desks.
