Mr Adamu Dasaana, the Wa West District Chief Executive (DCE), has appealed to the District Education Directorate to ensure a fair distribution of educational resources to ensure that each school benefitted.

The DCE, who made the appeal while handing over some educational materials to the Education Directorate for onward distribution to the schools, warned that there should be no complaints regarding the distribution of the items.

The items include seven motor bikes, 596 pieces of furniture, 38,038 pieces of Note 1 exercise books, 7,347 writing books, 4,939 graph books, 740 teachers note books, 469 attendance books and 384 boxes of chalk.

The rest are 7,386 pieces of school uniform out of which 3,554 are for boys and 3,832 for girls.

Thirty (30) basic schools are to benefit from the 596 pieces of furniture.

Mr Dasaana said the items were provided to enhance education delivery in the district and not for sale, warning that if any of the materials were found in the market appropriate sanctions would be taken against the person involved after investigations.

He urged the District Education Directorate to ensure that they enhanced monitoring of schools to reduce teacher absenteeism and enhance education performance in the district.

The DCE lauded the Global Partnership for Education Grant (GPEG) for continuously supporting the district with education resources, noting that there was no single school in the district that one would go without finding something provided by GPEG.

He said President John Dramani Mahama has indicated that education was key to the nations’ human resource development, hence its commitment to invest in both infrastructure and other resources to boost teaching and learning in schools.

Mr Godfrey Dangyeru, the Wa West District Director of Education, thanked GPEG and the Education Ministry for their commitment to improve on quality education across the country.

He said most schools in the district either lacked furniture or have inadequate numbers, saying the furniture would, therefore, improve on the situation.

Rev. Philip Alartey, a parent, thanked the Government and partners for pushing hard to remove all the bottle necks impeding quality education delivery especially in the rural areas.

He said the uniform would help make the pupils look smarter while they had comfortable furniture to sit on and learn to boost their morale.
