In a short speech,Chief Abdallah Tolodompewura(Mornoh) disclosed that the donation was part of a comprehensive plan by the association to contribute to the development of Canteen and improve the standard of education in the community.He said it was a way Canteen Yaara home and away could give back to society what society has given to them.
He admonished the students,especially the final year students to make good use of the opportunity provided despite the limited time to change the results of this year's BECE in both schools.Lamenting that last year's result was not anything good to "boast home about and glorify.
The chairman of CAYDA EDUCOM,Mr.Kichana Emmanuel cautioned the students against misemploying the items donated,adding that the students should endeavor to handle the text books properly to the benefit of not only them but future generations.
He said quantifying the donated items in monetary terms meant a lot of money.And the onus was on students to utilise the books at best.
The group according to him is just complementing the effort of the education office to deliver good education to the community.
The Assistant Director in charge of Basic Schools,Mr.Asumah who represented the District Director lauded the association for the donation.He disclosed that it has been a long time he has seen such a thing,where a group of individuals come together to support the educational pursuit of their community. He said he was aware the association was already implementing free extra classes for the final year students.But like Oliver Twist,he appealed to the association to do more....The District Director according to him had wished to be present himself but for other schedules.
He appealed to the teachers and the students not to let the association down but convert the support to good performance.
