Atwima-Mponua Identifies Education As Priority
The Atwima Mponua District Assembly has identified education as a priority in its development programme.
To this end, the assembly is collaborating with the district office of the Ghana Education Service to gather data on the number of school drop-outs for engagement in vocational and technical training programmes.
Mrs. Theresa Adomako Tawiah, the District Chief Executive, said “there are lots of school drop-outs idling in the district and I believe the programme would help them to secure a brighter future”.
Speaking to the ‘Times here on the district’s development, she mentioned hairdressing, carpentry, masonry, mechanics and tailoring as some of the areas the drop-outs would be engaged to acquire skills.
The DCE also indicated that the assembly would put up some pre-schools to cater for little children who had attained the school-going age but were still at home.
She noted that most parents often kept their wards at home for many years before enrolling them in schools due to complete the limited number of pre-schools in the area.
The DCE emphasised that the assembly would “see to all ongoing projects commenced by the previous government before we start new ones”.
