In an interview, Mr Kenneth Kelly Essuman, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area, told Ghanadistricts.com that the training was funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND) and sought to deepen the teachers, knowledge and understanding of the subject’s content relevant to children in the classroom.
