The Wenchi Municipal Chief Executive Dr Prince Kwakye Afriyie together with the municipal Coordinating Director Mr Edward Abazin has distributed school uniforms to schools in the Wenchi municipality on behalf of the government through the Ministry of Education.
According to Hon MCE, the need to clothe pupils to increase school enrollment is key, but the intervention’s contribution to enhance the confidence of pupils and make them look decent and presentable must not be neglected. He said “this move is to ensure that poverty does not prevent any child from accessing at least basic education in the country,” .
He continue to say that, academic performance of some pupils had been affected by their parents’ inability to acquire school uniforms for them, adding that the social intervention programme would lead to the distribution of more uniforms for school children.
Mr Joseph Yaw Mensah deputy administrator and finance received the uniforms on behalf of the headmasters and headmistresses, he shown appreciation to the Government, Ministry of Education and the Hon MCE.
