American Peace Corps Volunteers
finance computer laboratory for JHS
Foase, (Ash), Jan. 28, Ghanadot/GNA - Two American Peace
Corps Volunteers, Michael Simpson and Alex Peterson have
financed the construction of a computer laboratory at the
cost of GH¢24,000 for the Junior High School (JHS) of Foase
in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of Ashanti.
They have also furnished it with 20 computers and
accessories while the Atwima Kwanwoma District Assembly has
donated 20 tables and chairs.
Ms Beatrice Brenyah, Acting Head Teacher of the school
disclosed this when she led Mr Joseph Kwabena Onyinah,
Ashanti Regional Director of Education to inspect the
laboratory on Tuesday.
The inspection formed part of the Regional Director’s tour
to the newly-created district to inspect office and living
accommodations allocated to the Ghana Education Service
(GES) at Foase, the district headquarters.
Mr Onyinah said he was impressed with the accommodation and
commended the community and the district assembly for the
concern shown towards the development of education in the
area.
He reiterated the importance of education in the
socio-economic growth of the society and advised parents and
guardians to send their children to school.
Mr Onyinah said it was the responsibility of the teacher to
fully harness and develop the potentials of the child to
make him an asset to the society.
Mr Augustine Appiah-Kubi, Assembly-member of the area said a
non-resident citizen of the area voluntarily donated the
living accommodation to the GES while the district assembly
converted an abandoned cocoa-shed into an office for the
school.
Mr Gyansah appealed to the GES to post a qualified ICT
Inspector to the school to manage the laboratory.
