THE government has begun the distribution of free exercise books to 45 junior high schools (JHS) and 77 primary schools in the Ellembelle District.
The first consignment of 81,905 exercise books and 714 graph books went to Nyaneba Model Primary and JHS.
Primary 3 pupils would have three books each, while Primary 4, 5 and 6 will receive five books each. Students in JHS 1 and 2 would receive seven books each, while JHS 3 students will receive two exercise books and a graph book each. This would continue till all public schools in the district are supplied with their first set of books.
The Member of Parliament for Ellembelle and Deputy Minister for Energy, Mr Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, said the distribution of the books was in fulfilment of the promises of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in its manifesto of investing in people and education.
He explained that the government’s focus on education and commitment to the provision of basic logistics was to ensure that students had everything at their disposal to enable them to learn and pass well in their examinations.
He promised to organise training in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for the students.
The Ellembele District Chief Executive, Mr Daniel K. Eshun, urged the students to take their studies seriously to justify the money the government was investing in their education.
The School Prefect of Nyaneba Model JHS, Ms Joycelia Nyame, on behalf of the beneficiary students, expressed appreciation to President J.E.A. Mills for his great interest in education and also for the efforts being put in to support them to pass their examinations and promised to learn hard to perform well in their Basic Education Certificate Examination.
