He explained that, for years down the lane, the performance of Mampong basic schools has been abysmal therefore it's high time something was done to give it a phase lift.

"In my own little efforts, I have been able to organise free vacation classes, mock examinations, distribution of school uniforms and furniture and now my hands are tied, therefore others with equal interest should rally behind me to ensure its sustainability", he stated.

He stated this during the climax of a quiz competition that he organised for 58 basic schools in the Mampong Municipality.

In all Mensah Saahene JHS School came first in the competition.

Mr David Doe the head of Monitoring and Supervision at Ashanti Mampong Municipal Education Directorate who came to grace the occasion on behalf of the education director eulogised the presiding member for playing a pivotal role in the elevating of standard of education in the area.

He called on the municipal assembly to setup a fund to cushion activities of this nature termly and it would have several cascading effects on education in the municipality.
